The question I’m posing today is as simple as it is profoundly uncomfortable: Has traditional film financing gone the way of the 35mm SLR film camera? I am neck-deep in raising funds... correction, trying to raise funds (albeit with some success). And call me crazy but the traditional "film finance" models are suddenly seeming quaint and useless. Anyone else feeling the cold chill in the air?
