Working with a director gives you a first-hand look at what it takes to
make a film. When working for a film director, you must be prepared to
take on menial tasks. Still, the experience and insight you gain will
prove invaluable as you pursue your career on a full-time basis.

Donna Demok's PriZm Pictures is looking for exciting and creative film projects for television, streaming audio and video distribution and investment. Demok adds, that she is going to take advantage of President Obama's SEC order by using crowd funding.
The SEC lets you advertise for investors and you print your very own stock certificates up to a limit of $2 Million per project.
