Movie Money: Confidential

Rick and Maggie, the whole cast are magnificent. This is the conversation and information that all filmmakers need, but can't find. This is it! There's a load of insight for anyone with aspirations to make films.

Louse Levinson is a great source with experience and knowledge like no one else.

Scott DuPont is great as well.

What this film does is bring the viewer into the conversation, the way it really is and what they can expect. I wish I had seen this before I made our film, it would have answered so many questions.

The best part is that there's no one looking to get into your pocket, they're just trying to educate the viewer on the way it really works.

My curiosity was raised when I read the description of this movie. Interesting. Never seen such a movie about this subject being made. Burt Reyolds starring in it? Yes, count me in! NOT.

The bad: the only good thing was seeing Burt Reynolds being interviewed about the movie business. He has changed quite a bit, due to ageing, but he is still the man. But unfortunately even his surprising contribution didnt make this movie worth a watch. Why not?

This is a TEDIOUS TALKING HEADS movie. NO ONE, has the answer on how to raise money for a movie, but EVERYONE has an opinion, some valid and interesting, most other opinions were open doors and water under the bridge.

Not the interesting doc I imagined it would be. The opposite was true. Quite tedious and completely uneventful without any surprising insights whatsoever.

I'm blown away from this highly insightful movie. Exceeded my expectations. To see and hear Hollywood industrial-business secrets from cinematic legends was most compelling. I can't believe this documentary flew under my radar. Digital technological advancement has changed Hollywood's business model. Long gone are the days of yore like the nineties Kevin Smith success strategies. Movie Money Confidential gives the viewer a glimpse into viable steps to compete and succeed in todays market. It's an interesting and fun documentative exploration, into movie-making, for aspiring artists and casual observers. Confidential disclosure will terrify some and liberate others. BOOM!

Rick, you've really outdone yourself this time! I was recently taking a trip and I saw your film as the top choice of available films in the plane. Amazing! I got to my hotel and sure enough, your film was on two of the platforms. You've hit gold this time!!

This film will be a must-see in every film school across America for years to come. No wonder you're honored in the 9th edition of Louise Levison's book, FILMMAKERS AND FINANCING.

Along with film legend Burt Reynolds in his last film ever, you bring hope and understanding to so many independent filmmakers who are unable to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Coupled with greats Salma Hayek, Scott duPont, Maggie Pamplin, and the esteemed Louise Levison, you pull back the curtain on many of the financing secrets and offer the filmmaker something to strive for.

I will be looking for your future films and following your rise in the independent film world. It's always great to see Burt, what an honor it must have been to be so close with him.

People, don't listen to a negative review when you see 99% are positive. There is always a "hater" out there that wants to bring someone down when they do so well. It happens all the time in my industry also, especially when there is competition.

This documentary was so well done and the information given is invaluable! Be sure to watch the entire credits as well and listen to what Burt Reynolds has to say in multiple parts during the credits. It is VERY CLEAR that Burt still knew what he was talking about. This is a very interesting documentary and there is very good reason why it is doing so well. Numbers speak volumes, read the reviews.
