Bio y Fundraising Ideas

Bio:

Evan Sayre (Lead Audio, Producer) is known for diving head-first into his projects with a creative approach and extreme motivation. His experience reaches across many strains of audio; from on-set recording to organizing recording time for bands and all aspects of post-production. Instead of being content with just holding a microphone and standing still, Evan has worked very hard in positions such as Lead Audio ("Class of '98"), Audio Post ("White Roses"), and Boom Op for a ghost hunting TV pilot, "Legend Tripping." His passion for sound shows in his determination to make everything sound as good as it looks.

"I'm bringing back the art of audio with a vengence."

Fundraising Ideas:

-There are numerous spots in the script for product placement... the magazine being read on the bus, the iPod (or other willing-to-donate MP3 player) and the band that is being listened to on the MP3 player.
-Along with Adam's idea of news coverage, we could talk to local newspapers and magazines and on top of promotions and interviews, maybe we could could have them come by during the filming? I guess this is more promotion than fundraising...
-Monthly dues for everyone... I know this would really suck but it's what the other company I work with does because they are in the process of getting started. We're not in college anymore and most of us have decent jobs... if we can get just 10 people to throw in $10 a month, over the next 6 months, that's $600. Granted, we will probably spend some personal money on the movie during production, but every little bit counts, right? This could also help fund our test shoot to show to investors.
-eBay scams.
-We should read that book by Bruce Campbell, at least the chapter about how they funded Evil Dead. Sounded like a good idea when we discussed it at the meeting.


Speaking of meetings- when is the next?

Thanks Evan,

I like your fundraising ideas, I'm going to check around libraries for Bruce Campbell's book.

As far as the next meeting goes, it depends on whether or not people want to read the revised script before we meet again or not. The revisions are much more significant (and better) than I expected. I'm bustin' it out over here, I'm expecting to have it typed up late thursday or friday.
