Perhaps money is not important in the least.
Find the man who finds the money, invest the money, make a film, sell it, make more money, sign a contract, pay the investors, hire union actors, make another film, sell it, make more money, tour festivals, meet asshole directors, meet wonderful directors, steal the lady from New York, record a few records, tour, cameo a few projects, get married, produce a young filmmaker's project, make a third film, re-new contract, win a golden globe, buy land, build a farm, ride horses, grow vegetables, have child number one, write fourth film, go fishing, learn to fly a plane, finance a restaurant in NY, make fourth film, make more money, buy a flat in Paris and/or London, wear sunglasses, suit, and skinny tie.
Meet the parents this weekend. Sign the lease.
If you haven't, watch John Cassavetes' SHADOWS... please do.
