Hey Buddy, Can You Spare 200 Million Dimes?

Okay, here's the deal. I need $10 - $20 million dollars.

Before you think I've completely lost my marbles, let me explain...

I think I have a formula to successfully provide high quality, broad appeal Christian films to the large Christian market currently jaded by low quality, preachy films. It's also a market that Hollywood is unable and unwilling to fill.

I'm writing the first four scripts and defining a business plan now. Through my research I have found that it takes a budget of around $1 million to hire the right people and get the right equipment to shoot a movie that is on par with Hollywood's production values (actors, lighting, soundtrack, crew, etc.).

To put that amount of money in perspective, Hollywood films cost on average of between $40 - $100 million films each. So, $1 million a film is considered very low budget, if you can believe that!

Usually, when shooting a low budget film you raise enough money for one film at a time.

• You raise money
• Shoot movie
• Distribute movie

Then you start on the next film...

• You raise money
• Shoot movie
• Distribute movie

And so on... Instead of investing a lot of time going through the fund raising efforts over and over again, instead my goal is to raise between $10 and $20 million, put that money into a 10% fund and use the annual $1 million - $2 million growth to fund a film a year indefinitely while keeping the original $10 million to $20 million intact. Also, if we take a lion's share of the profits and put it into the original $10 - $20 million, then the annual film budget will increase accordingly.

Now, I'm not asking anyone reading this for your money... you have something far more valuable than money... the power of prayer.

So, I'm asking that to pray for this venture. I feel the Lord has been directing me toward this path over the last ten years. And if the Holy Spirit wants this dream to happen, then nothing can stop it. If not, then nothing can make it happen. I'm only asking you to add this venture to your list of prayers and we'll let the Lord do the rest.

In anticipation of your efforts, I want to thank you for your prayers and I will keep you all informed of our progress.
