Greg, how did that work - were you approached for your investment? Is it like buying shares?

Scott --- This was not really what I'd even call an "investment" -- this was really (in my mind) a GIFT to an ex partners nephew... and he had approached me with his vision - a business plan - cost breakdowns etc.... and I said "okay".

I never - in my wildest imagination - ever thought it would see the light of day... but by gawd he's stuck it out - and here's the result. I had put additional money into it - after "production" to re-format it in the 16:9 that all the distributors wanted... other than that - you know about as much as I do on it! Seriously. And No -- I don't think I'll ever see dime from it.

When I posted it on here -- it was more a "fun" and informational SHARING - another peek into the life of an idiot...

Greg, Although you mentioned that there wasnt much involvement on your end but it is kinda cool. The least they can do is put your name in the ending credits

That's funny -- 'cause I'm thinking the only credit I'll get is if they didn't pay their bills and then they'd be coming after my credit...

Actually - I have no clue how that all works - but I don't think the "investors" get any credit for backing the film. I think we're just checkbooks. This really was a friends and family deal -- not a "big" deal.
