Working with Local Celebrities
Preview

The financial success of Hollywood movies is largely dependent on the star power backing them.  Since most of us don’t have the money to hire Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise, we can go for the next best thing... your local newscaster!

Working with local celebrites will not only improve the visibility of your production, but lead to a number of other benefits that can not only help promote the movie, but can assist greatly in production.

Learn the best way to approach local celebrites, how to use them, and the secret benefits they can bring to your movie.

"Jason proves that top-notch production values are within the reach of anyone who has ever dreamt of making his own movie. You’ll learn far more about filmmaking with this practical, thorough and meticulously organized DVD set than you ever will watching "Project Greenlight." Jason knows what he’s talking about, because he’s actually done it!"
