FAQ
How many movies makes Hollywood each year?
Each year, Hollywood studios produce approximately 3,000 films. It's true, there are three thousand!
Hollywood spends billions advertising these films. They spend millions on their production. They also spend millions marketing them. But how many do you think actually end up getting released into theaters?
It's probably between 200-300. What happens then to the 2,700+ remaining films? Most of them are either released direct-to-video or just sit in storage.
But not all of them are destined to go unseen. Some of these have been selected to be distributed via Netflix, Amazon Prime or Hulu Plus.
Hence why don't more of these films be released? Why are they not released in theaters? They're too expensive.
And if they were cheaper to produce, they'd be released into theaters.
This is where I come in. I can help guide you in the best way possible to put your movie in theaters.
I'll show how to maximize your return-on-investment (ROI) as well as increase your chances for seeing your movie in theatres.
We have to face it...
It can be very difficult to get your film in theaters. It is a complex, long-winded and complicated process that requires a lot of legalities.
It could also be costly before you even start.
Even worse, your window of opportunity to distribute your film is very limited.
There simply isn't enough time between when a film is finished, and its theatrical run begins.
How much does Hollywood make a year?
It costs about $100 million to make an average movie. The average movie costs around $100 million to make. If you made ten movies per month for a ten year, you'd have enough cash to buy a small country.
A private island with an airport and power plant, as well as a bank, post office and police station, would be yours.
If this doesn't sound fun, you are insane.
Why don't more filmmakers use crowdfunding websites like Indiegogo or Kickstarter?
Crowdfunding sites can be great as they let you reach out to potential investors.
Many filmmakers aren't qualified to ask money. They feel they need someone to stand by them.
Because they are still in their infancy, they do not believe that anyone should invest.
Instead, they spend long hours working on their project, in hopes of someone noticing.
They realized that they hadn't prepared properly when they launched their campaign.
They end up with only a few donations, instead of thousands of dollars.

How to get a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce in 1960 established the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The HWOF can be found at 6233 Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, California. It's made up of 2,711 stars, which are embedded in the sidewalk on Hollywood Boulevard. Each star represents an individual who contributed to popular culture, such as television, radio or theater. There are currently 1,922 living persons listed on the HWOF.
To become a HWOF member, you need to submit a name to Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. They then submit your details to the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs. Once you have been approved, you will be given a certificate that shows your name and details, including date of birth, place of residence, occupation, and category. You will also receive a bronze plaque engraved with your name. This plaque is affixed to a concrete base in front of the designated star.
If a member of the HWOF has nominated you, or if your contributions are significant to films, television, radio or theatre, or any other part of popular culture, you can apply for a Star. A committee evaluates all nominations and then decides whether to approve them. If they do approve them, they send a note to the home address of the applicant stating their decision. The second letter is sent to the applicant confirming acceptance of the nomination if the person accepts it. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce then charges $25 and forwards the money on to the City of Los Angles Department of Cultural Affairs.
The department issues a check payable the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which then sends the check directly to the Hollywood Walk of Fame Foundation. The foundation pays the artist or organization whose application was accepted. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce pays half of the $12.50 fee to the artist or organization. The other half goes to the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.
Once an artist has received their star, he/she is eligible to be listed in the HWOF. To be eligible to list on the HWOF you will need to pay the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce all outstanding balance. The amount due will vary depending on how long ago you were nominated. For example, $15,000. Suppose you were first nominated as a nominee in 1990. However, if you had been previously nominated in 1980, you would owe $10,000.
To remove yourself from HWOF, contact the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. They will help you pay the remaining debt. They will take care of removing your name from the list permanently.
How old must one be to get a HWOF star
Nominations are open to anyone over 18 years of age. A person must be present at the time of receiving a star. After receiving a stars, one could still be nominated after ten more years.
What happens if I die before my star gets put up?
Nominating you can be done by family members. If no relatives are living, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce may place a memorial stone in front of your star.
Why can't we just choose a different street and not have stars all over?
The HWOF isn't meant to be an historical monument. It is meant to honor those who contributed to film history.
What happened with the stars that were stolen? The thieves took around 1,200 stars. Each star is approximately 250-300 lbs in weight. That's about 4 tons of stars!
