Johnny Ta'Raun Silver: Filmmaker
Since the Latino Producers Academy, I have joined your site as a member and have spread the gospel of your knowledge to every filmmaker and producer I know.
Many of my peers have now become members of Film Specific as a direct result of my word of mouth. I became so vocal about your site over the past year, that my partner Alejandro Seri (Head of Marketing at Final Draft Inc./Script Magazine) took note and also has tracked the success of your site. Since applying the information from your site and focusing on the Marketing and Distribution of our projects first, I have been 98% more successful in my pitches to financiers, Executive Producers and Studios (YES STUDIOS). Here is just a minor list of some of the recent successes we have had:
-Met with and Pitched Drama Project 'Grain' to President of Fox Searchlight Pictures Nancy Utley. (She is currently reviewing the project and loved the Marketing Ideas we had.)
-Optioned Final Girl to Rick Sands (Former COO for MGM). Working with Rick on other Projects as well.
-Had a CAA Cast Table Read for 'Grain' and successfully filled the room with 60 Financiers and Executives. Table Read was sponsored by Logliners.com, CAA, Final Draft, Script Magazine, Showbiz Cafe, Patron Tequila and many more.
-Written coverage for both 'Final Girl' and 'Grain' in Script Magazine, furthering our Marketing push for both projects as well as helping to brand Alejandro and myself as filmmakers.
I want to thank you for providing such valuable information to filmmakers. Your site and service is a must to the indie producer! You empower filmmakers with the confidence and knowledge they need to be successful in today's ever changing film business...
