I think something like YC for films would be really cool, obviously it would have to be more than 20k but I bet some great work would come out of it. The hardest part would be finding a forward-looking person in that industry to start it.
- brezina 19y agototally jamie, i've been thinking about how to push business innovation into film. let's do it after xobni and snaptalent.
- mhartl 19y agoSign me up, too. :-) I was in LA long enough to get to know a few people in "the Industry". (Hard at work on Insoshi for now, though.)
- mixmax 19y agoGreat idea. These guys would go for it: http://www.zentropa.dk/ http://www.zentropa.dk/ They are headed by the crazy genius Lars Von Trier and an even more crazy guy called Peter Aalbæk. They do a lot of diversification, and have a lot of 50/50 ownerships. I'm sure that they would hear you out. They have a strong track record as well - they've won the golden palms in Cannes among other things.
- wheels 19y agoThis is a funny property of the US film scene though. Low budget in the US is a whole lot higher than for instance here in Germany. There are a lot of films produced here that make it into festivals that are produced on grants of under €20k. If it were done in connection with a rethinking of the way that films are distributed and was done all digital rather than using real film stock, I think you could produce some interesting results for relatively cheap.
