Salifu Abdul Hafiz: .

Thank you for the connection!

Let's discuss the business side of Film Making. I started my production company not long ago and my major problem has to do with financing projects and making profit. Clients in my side of the world always demand for high quality work but they do not want to pay more. It hurts when you really wanna do something and do not have the budget or tools to execute it. What advice can you share with me and others facing the same issue.

Hi Salifu. I'm RB, Founder and CEO of Stage 32. As a screenwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker, I know first-hand the challenges all creatives face finding work, landing representation, launching projects, securing funding and simply making the connections that will make a difference in their careers. That's why I created Stage 32. Since our launch in September of 2011, the community has grown to 400,000+ members representing every country on the planet making Stage 32 the social network uniquely populated with the most creative people on Earth.

This is a network for you, built by you. Like most things in life, the more you participate, the greater the rewards. We ask all new members to pay it forward by inviting 5 fellow creatives to the network and by spreading the word of Stage 32 through other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The more creatives, the stronger the network. The stronger the network, the more opportunities.

Thanks for joining the movement and for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. I very much look forward to your contributions.

Thanks, and have a creative day!

RB

From high end to low end equipment. What gear do you need to have to put your vision on screen. (Big or Small screen). I am putting together a budget and need some ideas of what I should be asking for. I know the "RED" cameras are the 'in' thing right now. But how do they compare to High end Sonys, Canons, and of corse Phantoms? Which ones do you own or do you rent everything? We also can get into where to buy new, buy used, or rent... I would appreciate all the feed back you all can give. For now my budget is unlimited so skys the limit!
