Hi. My name is Jason Henderson. This past April, I completed my first feature film. As I went into post production, and started piecing the film together, I started to think about other things. Like, what DVD special features can I put on this thing? And how am I going to get any exposure for this film? I didn't want this film to just sit on a shelf. That's when one of my friends told me about this guy who had just started a videography business in Ohio. His name is Adam Whitton, and he runs this business called The Viile in association with CutThroat Films. My buddy told me that I should contact this guy. I figured I had nothing to lose so I did it. And Mr. Whitton was able to help me on both my problems.
For DVD extras, he came out, and shot a making of featurette for me that came out really great. It was a very good addition to the movie. More importantly, he helped me with getting some exposure for my film. Now, for films in preproduction, he comes in and supervises with the shooting of a promotional trailer which allows potential investors get an idea of what they would be investing in. For me, I already had shot the movie so he was only able to give me some tips on how to make an effective trailer. I wish I had known about him before I started shooting because I probably would have had an easier time raising money, and possibly even gotten more money for this project.
As it is, Mr. Whitton has helped my film so much. I love this guy. Thus far, he has gotten New Line Cinema to look at my film. That's right, New Line. Plus, I have gotten an offer from a smaller, indie production company to produce my next film with a minimum of a 50,000 dollar budget. I am so d**n excited, and I just thought I'd share this information with all of you seeing as many of you are people just like me, trying to break into this business. I feel like my career could very well be taking off, and I have The Ville to thank for that. If you guys are worried about the services costing an arm and leg, don't. I negotiated a price with Mr. Whitton and his team. They were very understanding of my situation. I won't get into specifics, but I will say everything cost me under 200 dollars. It was so worth it.
If you're curious, you can contact them at the following email address: cutthroatfilms@hotmail.com
People told me I should keep this all to myself, but I'd like other talented people to have the same chance I did. You've got nothing to lose by looking into this further. See you guys around the board.
