Actually, I do like lots of boobies... :wub: Stupid funny movies are ok too. ... Well, have been finding out some pretty good stuff, once I compile it all, I'll post here.

Unfortunately, next week is too soon for me to plan to get there. Is this a yearly thing? I don't anticipate being ready to distribute till next fall anyway. All I was after in this thread was a ballpark figure on the return of a low budget feature. Seems that the 'ballpark' is vast and varied. As I said, I'll keep you appraised as to what I find out. I found http://www.ifp.org/ and that is helpful.

Thank you for your posts, I appreciate it. This, at least, gives me the next stepping stone I have to cross. Talk to distributors and find out (somehow) the return on similar movies. I'll keep you posted on what I find out.

I'm planning on producing a low-budget ($15-30k) independent thriller. A straight to DVD 90min feature, filmed with an XL2. I'm trying to get a business plan together in order to get the financing for this project, but to finish this plan, I need to know what to reasonably expect the financial return will be. I don't really want to make a profit, but I do need to be able to pay back my financiers. Can anyone help give this newbie a clue? How much have other people sold their movies for? Who should I talk to? What's the best way to find out this information? Anybody here done it?
