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.

The favorable reviews must be from people that were in this documentary. After the first few minutes I thought it actually might be a mockumentary. Calling this a movie is a stretch. Starring Selma Hayek? They lifted a Selma Hayek interview and cut it into this production. Pretty laughable.

A good portion of this film is talking to random people who may or may not have ever actually been involved with a movie. Look them up on IMBD! This is in addition to about 45 minutes taking questions on panel interviews from high school students and other random people that showed up to a local restaurant.

Lord knows how they managed to get an interview with Burt Reynolds. What a shame/sham!

Please don't watch this...

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.

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!

While this film gives great tips to the independent filmmaker, I'm also a fan of its interesting format and entertainment value. While, Rick himself is a fantastic interviewer, when you add, the average man on the street, A-list stars, and tongue-in-cheek humor by way of an infomercial, this movie is a must-see. I am interested in filmmaking, but my spouse isn't. We both watched and enjoyed it multiple times. Among other things it has motivated me to continue my work and never abandon my passion. The film goes beyond financing and touches on writing, pitching and more. I didn't just rent it, I purchased it. If anyone thinks they can't get their movie made they haven't seen Movie Money Confidential. I highly recommend it.
