But firstly, look closely at the script because this is where it all begins.
If you like the script, look at the Director and what experience do they have and can bring to the table. Can they inspire and motivate the cast and crew as well as tell of coherent story on screen. ? If so and if you like the Director, make sure you look closely at the producers and production crew as well. A good Director and Producer will surround themselves with a well versed talented crew. Make sure the key positions are filled by personnel that have worked on legitimate projects with their experience showing up on the most credible Motion Picture Site in the world- www.imdb.com.
If not, your risk level as an investor goes way up. Lastly, focus on how they are going to market the project? Do they have a Business Plan, or a Film Proposal in PDF Format.

TAX DEDUCTIONS?
If you have "passive" income from the stock market, investing in an independent film is a good option. If the film fails to produce a profit, then
you can deduct all of your investment in the film. Taxes: At present, approximately 7.5% of the Budget’s in state spending can be covered by cash collected using the net guaranteed amounts pursuant to agreements for tax credits, sale and leaseback funds and other tax subsidies.
Pre-Sales: A minimum of 30% of the Budget can also be covered using bankable guarantees or standby letters of credit secured by foreign pre-sales,
output arrangements or equivalent agreements. 70% is typically held back for future sales to foreign territories, which provides greater leverage for more favorable deal making. Deferred Payments: A minimum of 15% of producer, talent and/or service provider compensation can be deferred prior to a film’s release, if necessary.Budget’s Contingency: If needed, 10% of a film’s budgeted contingency may be held back or not used at all, reducing the overall Budget and creating immediate savings for each production.
Unitizing the various recoupment methods described above helps to ensure that an investor’s contribution to one of Production Company’s approved productions will be used prudently and positioned with minimal exposure. The results are designed to yield a higher success rate of return at the film’s theatrical release.
