    What I learned doing this assignment which is new to me is to also use actors in their other movies to find producers.

    TITLE: TRAFFICK/STOP

    GENRE: Action/Adventure

    LOGLINE: An undercover cop infiltrates a human trafficking ring to take down the main trafficker in order to discover what happened to her sister who disappeared in his company.

    Make a list of five or more
    movies that are similar to yours and five actors that you might want to
    play your lead characters.

    MOVIES

    Taken

    The Transporter

    End of Watch

    Babylon A.D.

    Trade

    Eden

    Skin Traffik (A HITMAN IN LONDON)

    The Plastic Bag

    Logline: A plastic bag passes from one owner to another and affects each life in a significant way.

    What I learned – It’s astounding how many producers can be connected to similar projects and actors. This was an eye-opening exercise and the research was simple.

    Lesson 10 part two:

    What I learned: It doesn’t take long to find the producers that want to be found. I stopped at 50, just to complete the assignment, but my goal is to get at least 300 that I can market. The key is filtering for Genre, Production release date, and budget.

    What I learned doing this assignment is it only takes 15 minutes to find 50 producers. It only takes 15 minutes to find 50 opportunities. Also, doing a search on keywords from your title will most likely yield a large and comprehensive list of movies that are similar to yours. They might not all be blockbusters, but they will have producers attached to them.

    What I learned during this lesson is how to search through IMDBPro, and also while searching, that the low budget Producers offer their contact information more frequently than do mid-range budgets of 15 million+.

    Similar projects:

    American Psycho

    Bad Teacher

    Fargo

    Dexter

    Cocaine Bear

    Possible Actors:

    Jenna Ortega

    Lily Bird

    Millie Bobby Brown

    Sabrina Carpenter

    Lily-Rose Melody Depp

    I have a list of 50 Producers, do you want me to type that here? Took me a three hours, but on IMDBPro it’s easy to wander, sometimes good, other times, not so much.

    Bob Kerr: Target Market

    What I learned from this assignment is my script is in a genre that has not had a lot of films produced. This means the field is wide open. I am aware of two films that are in production that have a rowing element. My script is the first about a women’s crew at the dawn of Title IX.

    Will have to get on iMDBPro to find the producers that I can pitch.

    1) Five movies and 5 actors I could consider for source masterial:

    a) The Novice

    b) Boys In a Boat (In production)

    c) Lessons in Chemistry (In production)

    d) Oxford Blues

    e) Remember the Titans

    Actors:

    Female role: Male role:

    a) Isabelle Fuhran a) Adrian Peck

    b) Leslie Armstrong

    c) Elaine Cullen

    d) Jasmine Carter

    Producers: Will need to get on iMDBPro to mine this market.

    Logline: A single mother finds her way to the first ever rowing crew and leads them to victory.
