Why investing in independent films is safer than the stock market

As with all investments, Never Can Say Good-bye brings with it some risk. However, it is likely to be profitable because of its genre, its cast, and its low budget.  Paranormal films nearly always do well, especially in the foreign markets and with the 18-35 demographic.  Our cast includes very talented experienced actors with strong fan bases as well as upcoming newbies.  Our low production budget with innovative production values will produce a quality film that will have a low breakeven point.  The high P & A budget combined with the new digital marketing techniques  will increase our exposure both in traditional venues as well in the new Internet and with the mobile devices.  Never Can Say Good-bye will intertwine  the best of the traditional with the best of the modern to create a film that has the right message at the right time and the ability to reach not only the specific target audience, but it will also attract the general audiences as well.  Additionally, the paperwork has been done to grandfather Never Can Say Good-bye into Section 181 of the Jobs Act, which gives investors a special K-1 federal tax deduction.





"Instant karma is going to get you."
John Lennon

Have you ever met someone and suddenly felt love or hate? Yet for the life of you couldn't remember meeting them. Did you wonder why? Would you want to remember if it could save your life?

Elizabeth was asked by her mentor to teach a writing course at the small college. Since she never forgets a kindness, she reluctantly agrees. Arriving in town, she instantly regrets her decision. She wants to run, but she is honor bound to stay. Even as the ghost of a small child begs her to forgive, the memories of another time arouse feelings of hatred that she doesn't understand and cannot control. When she meets Shane, all of their lives are thrown onto a dangerous collision course from which they can neither run, nor can they hide. The question is, "Can they overcome their tragic past or will they be doomed to repeat it?"

Improving the Box Office



So many people complain about the quality of film and television, yet they continue to do nothing to make the needed changes in the industry. If you settle for the lesser of the available evils, you are still supporting bad entertainment.

Independent film makers have alternatives to the remakes, sequels, and rehashes. Digital advances in distribution give them the ability to support theatrical releases; thereby raising their profitability margin. They have the ability to produce quality projects. What they don’t have is the support of investors and lenders to make their projects a reality.

Never Can Say Good-bye is about having a second chance to make different decisions. It has the right message of hope at the right time. Due to the diversity of the cast and crew, it still qualities as a low budget film. A lower budget combined with a recognizable cast increases the profitability potential. In addition, the budget includes enough P & A to support 500 screens for two weeks; after which production team will decide if it will continue to self distribute or see a partnership with a distributor. Executive Producer, Theresa Chaze, has already gained the interest of three theatre chains. It will be very easy to get the 500 screens.

Like so many films, Never Can Say Good-bye’s biggest hurtle is funding. Unlike most studio films, the production team will be innovative with the production challenges, which will enhance the value of the each dollar spent during the production, post production, and the marketing of Never Can Say Good-bye. The paperwork to grandfather in Never Can Say Good-bye into Section 181 of the Jobs Act has already been completed. This is federal tax deduction gives investors a K-1 deduction equal to 100% of their investment in the production costs. Additionally, Never Can Say Good-bye LLC will be applying for and expects to be approved for the Michigan’s Film Incentive program.

It also needs the male lead. Initially Adrian Paul agreed to portray the role of Michael, but his LOI has expired. Although we are still considering him and he is listed in our presentations, we have opened up the role to other actors. We are also considering, but have not yet spoke with: Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Robby Benson.

Michael is a 45-50 year old man, who is an author and professor, but he looks more like a lumberjack. He has been looking for his twin flame for his entire life. When he moves to Coyote Springs, he thinks he has found her. But when his true twin flame appears, he realizes that he made the same horrible mistake. He must choose between reclaiming his lost love and seeking to revenge for murder of his son.

Love or Revenge?








Have you ever met someone and suddenly felt love or hate? Did you wonder why? What if you had forgotten the reason? Would you want to remember if it could save you life?

Elizabeth was asked by her mentor to teach a writing course at a small college. Since she never forgets a kindness, she reluctantly agrees. Arriving in town, she instantly regrets her decision. She wants to run, but she is honor bound to stay. Even as the ghost of a small child begs her to forgive, the memories of another time arouse feelings of hatred that she doesn't understand and cannot control. When she meets Shane, all of their lives are thrown onto a dangerous collision course from which they can neither run, nor can they hide. The question is, "Can they overcome their tragic past or will they be doomed to repeat it?"


If you had a second chance, would you choose love...or revenge?

We have an Indiegogo crowd campaign with some really cool perks.  Please help us produce this family friendly film.

Under the Eightball: One Woman's Stuggle with a Mysterious Disease

Until You Walk the Path, You Don’t Know Where it Goes will be hosting Timothy Grey on March 14 at 5 pm eastern.

Timothy Grey Began filmmaking in 2001 with his first independent production VOW.  The film was released regionally.  Oscar winning director Michael Moore said "Timothy Grey's VOW is both disturbing and entertaining and a wonderful contribution to independent film."  

In 2004 Grey started production on his second narrative, Lower the Sun.  A vampire tale loosely based on the Gilgamesh epic.  The film remains unfinished. In 2008 Timothy Grey with Breanne Russell began production on their first documentary Under The Eightball.  The film was released in 2009 to rave reviews in the LA Times, Village Voice, NY Times, and Variety. The film is currently entering the Festival Circuit as well as a screening/speaking tour with the filmmakers.

Under the Eightball is a film about one woman's struggle with a mysterious disease and her family's desperate attempt to save her life. This documentary ventures further than merely a disease, it examines the systemic failures of our health care, insurance, and pharmaceutical industries. The audience becomes witness to an ambivalent medical community who's attitude can only be described as a tragic failure.  This is a cautionary tale --- warning the viewer that this story is not the exception but one that is all too common.  A truth that lives in our cities, on our streets, in our homes. The victims are our neighbors, friends, parents, siblings and children. The victims are us...
