Tom Malloy info
How he worked with Oliver Stone as exec on his first film Gravesend and how from there wanted to learn how to be a producer to make films that he could act in.
We discuss how important it is to have a publicist and how crowdfunders aren’t always the best route.
How Tom approached a high networth individual (HNI) and got them to invest in his first film the Attic. Investors want to be in the film business. It sounds cooler than bitcoin on the golf course
How you should always bring on producing partners you respect. If you can’t raise finance, partner with someone who can. Put strengths where your weakness are and how it gets easier to spot dodgy producers in the business the further you are along with your career.
Learning bot Tom and Giles had the same composer on their debut film with Mario Grigorov on the Attic and The Dare respectively.
Now Tom has moved into the distribution side of the business with Glass House distribution so he can guarantee x amount of returns no matter what.
How his new found footage horror Screamers got picked up by Epic pictures, Peace West and Dread Central
The best way to find investors “If the why is big enough the how is always possible”
