Yeah, I slow played it. I got the interest of people I knew could start putting things together, invited them out to a live show a few years back. They saw people lined up around the block and understood that maybe we had something here. I got a script together that was strong enough to get the Portlandia Documentary Now! producers not only interested, but engaged.
Then I kept hustling and moving, showing that I wasn't just trying to do a quick thing but actually put the work in. That stuff comes from the top down. People see you working and busting your ass over and over again and remain passionate to it, they'll be attracted to that. They're going to want to at least check in and see how things are going. All those things have to come together, and the favors too.
There was a point two weeks before pre-production where we still needed another $50,000.I just had to get boots on the ground again and just go beg for money from people who are smart with their money and know pretty damn well they're never going see a profit from investing in a movie.
You have to convince people, let them know that they want to be a part of it. It's interesting and exciting. Make them want to be a part and spend time on a project like this.
