by Antoinette

Anyone can make a film or television pilot. There are many who have done it. Celebrities, business executives and aspiring industry professionals have all tipped their toe into the pool of filmmaking. However, few have had success at securing distribution of these projects

Current projects seemed to be targeted toward a general and a growing teen demographic. In addition, there are a rising number of animation, 3D, prequel, sequel and remakes.
