<p>Even though there is more and more enthusiasm about new age films, finances are still hard to come by. We spoke to some filmmakers about film financing today and how difficult it is to make such films</p>
A movie may have a script as its starting point but there’s no denying that it’s the money(or the purveyor of it, the producer) that decides a film’s fate. Often the script remains just that and the film doesn’t even hit the floors. In a bid to decode the dynamics behind funding films, HitList spoke to some filmmakers about film financing today and how difficult it is to see a film take shape right from scripting to its release.
Ruchi Narain
Last film made: 'Kal: Yesterday and Tomorrow' (2005)
filmmaker’s take: “Today, the market is flush with funds. As a filmmaker, one needs an impressive concept that would set you apart from the crowd. Of course, one needs the skills to sell it to producers or the studio. Cinema is indeed a profitable business. It’s not like a lot of people are losing money. Also, much of this change has to be attributed to the audience who are willing to watch a film that may not adhere to preconceived notions about how a film should or shouldn’t be.”
Current status: An untitled film, to be produced by Dharma Productions, is in the pipeline along with the animation feature, Hanuman 3.
