Question: If i wanted to be a film director, how will I get all of the money for my first film!?

Answers:
I really depends!. It sounds like you want to go the indie movie route, and there's no wrong way to do it!. These days, you can shoot on digital film!. A couple thousand bucks for a real good camera, then a few hundred for several dozen tapes, and you could film a whole movie around your home town!. Check out some indie movies or first efforts by now-famous directors!.

Kevin Smith, for example, took out several credit cards (that's really going out on a limb) and made his first movie "Clerks" for the cost of an SUV!. Darren Arronofsky make "Pi" by asking everyone he knew for 100 bucks, with the promise that if the movie made profit, they'd eventually get back 150 bucks!. Just be sure that your script is quality, and that you aren't trying to shoot anything that will be too difficult (I doubt trying to make that car chase that ends on the Hoover dam will work, for example)!. Robert Rodriguez made a lot of the money it took to make "Mariachi" by working as a medical test subject!.

I suggest you write your script, make sure it's tight, something you really believe in!. Then, make a bible for the movie: figure out a speculative budget, schedule, etc!. Show people how you want it to look, what it's supposed to be like!. Then, if you have the time, make a 5-minute short film of one of the scenes to show that you can also direct it!. Then you can shop it around to rich people you know of to show that you've got a vision, and just need some funding!. It's a lot of work, but if you've got the passion, you can make your movie!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Like all first time directors, out of your own pocket!. Once you have something to show, then you can go around the independent studios and maybe state government film finance organisations!.
To get work as a director, you need to have some filmmaking qualifications, work your way up from the bottom starting by sweeping the floor of the set, and really work hard and focussed!. They just don't hire someone without a load of experience and demonstrated talent!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Established directors are funded by the studios they work for, but a first-time director usually has to get funding on his own!. One possibility would be to find investors who believe in what you're doing enough to put up the money in exchange for the promise of a share of the profit!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

you have to find people who will produce your movie plus you need to have a movie written to be produced!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Well you could get sponsers or have a fund raiserWww@Enter-QA@Com

Do what Kevin Smith did for Clerks and max out his credit cards!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
