Part 1 Million dollar secrets of the Bahamas Film Industry






Closely Guarded Secrets of



“Made For Movie” Money

If you are new in the film/entertainment business, your biggest problem will be finding finances for your film. Though there are many options you can take, more than likely you may only be aware of a few. Such as: applying for grants, borrowing money from banks, relatives or friends. These channels very often do not work out for the artist in the long run, but it is a quick way to get into the game.

The best way to finance a film is in an investment consortium, under the guidance of a mentor, who by the way can be very instrumental in helping you to acquire your own money eventually. Oh, did I say the taboo controlling word, "mentor"? Yes, mentor. Mentor in this day and age? Yes, a mentor is someone who activates the humility within you that creates an atmosphere for learning or connecting to a higher level. This person is usually someone you wish to be like and someone secure enough not to worry about the possibility of you succeeding beyond him or her, should fate have it to be. The truth of the matter is, if the relationship is structured properly neither parties would have to be concerned about ending up in an odd or seemingly strained relationship position. Your success will automatically lead to further success for your mentor as it is the law of nature. Extremely successful people working in the Bahamas Film Industry all understand this concept and benefit greatly from it.

Beyond festivals, Film Financing In the Bahamas Film Industry


Continuing the conversation on "Positioning Yourself For Money" from January 30th 2013. Focusing on the importance of trust and mentor-ship in the Bahamas movie and television industry.

Now lets continue on. Covenant partners mentor-ship is an ancient bonding technique used to guarantee generation success. It’s more like an insurance program bonded by spiritual connection or a sincerely deep level of commitment. It has been said that to enter and pull out of such a bond, brings a curse on the life of the faint-hearted, and to stay faithful to the covenant, brings enormous prosperity. Well that is what they say, but each of us in the entertainment business can decide whether to believe it or not.

Stars In Paradise would like to point out that studio executives are approached every day and at any given time, by highly qualified people, with a variety of propositions and proposals. Being highly qualified sometimes has its drawbacks, especially when the executives are in the market for teachable individuals who can execute new innovations. Being qualified and set in the ways of previous training sometimes don't fit the demands. This is because qualification usually comes with an attitude that says "I know what to do, let me do this thing better, give me the job and back off until pay day". Sometimes it is quite true that the individual may have a lot to offer, but if your attitude lacks humility and show clear signs that you are not teachable when it comes to another way of achieving the same thing, you won’t get in.

There is very little an individual can do to change qualifications earned over long years of study and hard work, but there is a lot one can do to change an attitude that’s slowing them down. First, you must put yourself in the other person’s shoe. If an individual has built an interesting empire, they have done it by doing things a certain way. It has worked for them and has helped them progress consistently. Asking them to adapt to your way, which is yet to be proven beneficial is .......to be continued... - starsinparadise.com
