Idea Description

This would be a service that has an office that is run like a production company. The student would be someone who has always wanted to make a film. I have lots of friends that always talk about making their first short but they either (1) don't know how to get started and do it, (2) know exactly what to do but won't get off their butt to get started, and (3) are scared to do it. The mentor would take care of a lot of these issues, and the program would require the student to show up every day like they would for a normal job. We wouldn't do the legwork for him/her, but we would be right there throughout the day, every day, during the process should anything come up.

What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?

Properly incorporate and take care of the legal stuff first. Start a marketing campaign to actors and writers, probably through schools that I already know. Joint venture with companies that already market to this population. Contact the people I know in the industry (and they people they know) that would be interested in what we would be providing. Rent the ideal office space. Start with a small team: CPA, reception, and 2 mentors. I already have a budget written out if you would like more information.
