I remember article that I cannot find anymore about French action of supporting artists.
They ended with useless crap projects in their storages created just to get money off of the government.
That is why you don't support every sketch. Market is bad, but bunch of predatory freeloaders will spoil every good idea. So we are stuck with what it is, namely prove your idea first heavily and then we can reimurse you.
- ovi256 7y agoFWIW, there's a income tax reduction scheme in France that allows people to invest in film production companies. If the project fails, you get to write off your whole investment - no harm right ? If it makes any money, you get your share of the profit. It's basically a free option on film production profits that the government gives out. The total number of film productions is limited by art ministry fiat. Connected producers get the necessary yearly accreditations, and the companies are limited in how much investment they can take. Because of this, France is the 3rd world movie producer, after Bollywood and Hollywood. They have the lowest median views per film though.
