‘I can make a movie in six months, from the idea to the first screening’, says Steve Jaggi, proprietor of the Steve Jaggi Company. What is more, he has a production line of movies, and they make a profit, and he never works with private investors.
‘If I can’t make a film for around $3m – although that is creeping up a bit – and fund it entirely on presales plus the offset, I will not go ahead. The project is dead.’
