My Plan for "The 8 Year Olds" the movie

Every body doing anything remotely complicated, I think, should have at least a rough estimation of an idea of what to do. If you make a movie. You don't just peek a camera and tell the actors , say this line, or that line. And then hopefully it will be assembled into a coherent narrative. I'm not saying that it's impossible to make it this way. I just simply thing having a script at least will help you a lot. Tho even some big Hollywood movies do not really rely on scripts but rather on storyboards or pre-visualization. But that's besides the point. YOU NEED TO HAVE A PLAN.

If you somewhat familiar with Blender-Dumbass or J.Y.Amihud you maybe know about a project I like to call "The 8 Year Olds". The next movie that will be made by me. 

Tho it's really possible to make a movie. You have to have a particular set of skills. And I'm not talking about directing or writing skills. I proven myself having those long ago. If you don't believe me you can see my earlier films.

I'm Not Even Human:

The Package, The Car & The Time Is Running Out:

But as you maybe realized there is a problem. Those 2 films are extremely small. Yes, one of them is whopping 32 minutes long animation project made by 1.2 people. ( my brother helped me set the renders and in one point with a camera ).  Like how cool is that? This is not a successful movie tho.

By the time of the writing of this article the movie had only 1847 views in total after a year and 2 month of being released. Let's compare it to "Following" a small feature shot on 8 mm film by Christopher Nolan. Before he became a real movie director. According to Box Office Mojo it's made 3668$ in the opening weekend. Let's do some math. Average movie ticket cost in 1999 when the film was released was roughly 5$ which makes it about 734 people on the first weekend only.
At the first week of my film it was only about 150 people based on the YouTube analytics. Tho decrease this by some arbitrary number. Considering I did not charge 5$ from every body who saw the film. YouTube is free to watch tho nobody still watches it.
Of course there is an argument to the other side. In cinema you have a handful of movies to actually go to. In YouTube you have millions of videos at your disposal at any given time. And if you are getting to work and you have 10 minutes to see a video. You will not click on a thumbnail that says 32 minutes in it's corner.

I'm trying to argue that even tho I made an released a film. Nobody from the studios gonna really much care. Because it looks unimpressive. Every little channel can get a 1000 views. And my Blender Dumbass even not getting it for the most part.  I'm not a good investment.

It's not going to stop me tho. A lot of great films were made because a person is good at selling his stuff. Good pitch is what I need. And all I have is a phone and the email.

PLAN A: Try my best selling it to a studio.

There are countless studios in the world. And many of them actually situated in Israel (where I live). I have the script and I have the first 5 minutes of the film in a storyboard form. 

So it's not hard to present the project.

This is the list of the studios I want to call by Monday:

2 TEAM PRODUCTIONS (tried)
FILMOTRONIC
JULY-AUGUST
ZOA FILMS
GUMFILMS
MULLA PRODUCTIONS
HIGHLIGHT FILMS
CHAOS FILMS
GREEN PRODUCTION

I think I just run out of the list in the google maps. There were few more but not doing features. They like specialize on Adds ad VFX more.

So I tried 2 team productions already. And it seems like they just simply tried to get away from me. They told me to send a short version of the pitch to the email. And did not answer since March. I'll call them again maybe. But not sure.

If some of the productions will green - light the movie and the production will start happening I will hopefully will do a blog or vlog from the movie set. 

PLAN B: If the studios will be dicks.

If such a thing happens and Studios are dicks. I will need to think differently. I will need to raise some money somehow through donations, patreon & other crowdfunding sites. Make an extensive crazy waist on advertising all of it. I can eat twice less if necessary. Try to get people who are good but not big names to act. Try to convince them to do it for free. This will mean to rent or buy my own equipment. Getting a decent 4k camera, or cameras. I'll probably will need to move between houses very often. Because renting a house and making it a set will be easier then building a set. And I need few different buildings. 
This will need a complete movie plan. Complete storyboard of the entire thing. With plans of where and how to shoot everything so detailed that I would not waist a single cent on time. If I rent equipment it's crucial. If I pay per hour to an actor it's crucial.  I know most of those things will be done even if studios will green light it. But this time it's gonna on much tighter budget. With much less wondering about. 

Hope this is not gonna happen. And studios WILL find me interesting. But only the time will show.
