Greetings Stage 32 Warriors,
So I climbed the magic mountain and talked to the Magnificent Maurice as to the content of a post I wanted to post without any post movement to another lounge As always, Maurice was prompt, polite and positive. He suggested to seek the advice of the community so I'm reaching out for your opinions and insights.
What do you really need to say to investors to give you a chance to state your case? We went from business plans to Pitch Decks which are basically a 4th grade picture book that has the bare minimum of information. I've seen some impressive ones, but I'm often left with more questions than answers.
Most of us creatives have to go through producer with connections to studios or investors but by the time, our project finally gets to the money people, if we're lucky, maybe 35% of our original work is intact. So I created this post and was wondering how it strikes you.
"Seeking investors for THE CURMUDGEON. Budget is $1.5M for 150% return on initial investment. Don Most (Happy Days) is extremely interested in playing the title role. Here are some comments from recently acquired coverage of THE CURMUDGEON:
1. Strong character development for Grady - he's a compelling, cynical antihero with a distinct voice and worldview. His curmudgeonly personality and dark humor create an engaging protagonist.
2. Good action sequences - the fight scenes are well-choreographed and the cat-and-mouse game between Grady and the assassins builds tension effectively.
3. Interesting dynamics between characters - particularly the complex relationships between the assassins and Grady's reluctant mentorship of Ava.
4. Sharp dialogue - especially Grady's politically incorrect rants and cynical observations which add humor and social commentary.
All signs are pointing to a winner. Contact me to find out more about this exciting project."
Too much? Too Little? Personally, I think while it's not giving too much away, the context clues in the coverage notes give the reader an idea of the nature and genre of the piece.
I would really love you feedback.
Thank you in advance.
Philip
