Coyote Moon Productions
Greetings, On behalf of Michel Hugo, myself & Coyote Moon Productions I'd like to thank you for giving us this opportunity in having you review the following 'Film Opportunity & Business Proposal'. Coyote Moon Productions, based out of Las Vegas, Nevada & now St. Louis, Missouri, is a full fledged Film & High Definition Production Film Company being spearheaded by Mr. Michel Hugo, a long time Hollywood Cinematographer & Director. In no uncertain terms, Mr. Hugo has become a legend in his own right in filming over 62 movies & television shows over a successful 55 year period. He has worked with some of the biggest stars in Hollywood, many of which were around when movies were made by true movie makers who had a firm grip on good story telling without many of the nuances so prevalent in Hollywood today. Along with Michel, Producer & 20 year SAG (Screen Actors Guild) actor Jack Zdvorak, the two have pioneered & formed a well rounded team of professionals who believe it does not take the average 63 million dollars by Hollywood standards to make a quality film. As is now prevalent in Hollywood, because of this rampant over inflated spending, studios have to make '3 times their initial investment' to show a profit to investors. Within the past 2 to 3 years the entire industry has changed, & for the better. The viewing public now has an increased opportunity to see quality independent film work without having to view another version II, III, or IV from a tired, worn out movie theme taken in by the studios on what 'they think' we would like to see...as long as it makes a profit at the box office. (Ex: 'Crash'-2005 Academy Award Winner for Best Film, Independently financed & distributed by Lions Gate Entertainment) We firmly believe that as film makers we have an obligation to the viewing public to produce quality films with good story lines. We are 'not' about car chases, computer generated visions, naked bodies, & 4 letter words, we are all so very tired of. We 'are' about good story telling through good direction & acting. As viewers, we have all become very adept at seeing through the newspaper ads & slanted reviews. We have unfortunately become accustomed to the use of smoke & mirrors. We only wish there were more good movies being made. How enjoyable it is for all of us when one actually comes along. I believe Hollywood is nervous. They have lost perspective of the word 'quality'. They are often out of touch by the shear content alone of what they consider entertainment. It often seems their philosophy is to simply throw enough junk at us, & we will eventually start to accept it as entertainment. We believe otherwise. We no longer have to play their game or by their jaded set of rules, yet... "You Can't Break the Rules... until you know what they are". We do. Between Jack Zdvorak & Michel Hugo we have over 80 years of combined knowledge, both in & out of Hollywood, on just how to accomplish this task. We are pioneering a new 'Turbo Crew' philosophy of a few select individuals who wear 'many hats' on the set, or they are simply not considered in becoming a select part of our 'Team'. This cuts down tremendously on costs. We work together as an efficient, well trained group of finely tuned individuals, many who have studied under both Michel & Jack, & are now in Hollywood working & apprenticing to further their craft until they are available to begin work with us at Coyote Moon Productions in what they love to do best, simply making quality films. These individuals know how to get quality shots with maximum production value. We are constantly combining the latest advances in technology, & maintain the highest caliber of advanced training. We accomplish all this with the respect of a man who has more tricks up his sleeve in Directing & Cinematography work than you could possibly fathom. These techniques have come from years of making quality films. Many of these films & television productions you have seen & enjoyed, from successful TV shows such as Dallas, Dynasty, & Melrose Place, to major films with stars such Charlton Heston, Anthony Quinn, Jack Lemmon, Chuck Norris, Angie Dickinson, Catherine Deneuve, & Ann Margret, just to name a few. Many of these these films have been praised with countless accolades from Emmy nominations, to Blue Ribbon NY Film Festival Awards for both his Cinematography & Directing talents. In addition, Michel has also provided the ability to pass along his valuable knowledge by being a current tenure professor at the University of Las Vegas, Nevada Film School, & guest lecturer at 2 of the finest film schools in the world, UCLA & USC. We are both confident & proud to offer you the following 'Film Opportunity & Business Proposal', for your review & consideration. We are looking for a few select individuals who share the same passion as us in the making of 'quality films'. We are also very selective in who we wish to join our team as investors. We aim to bring future film work not only throughout the U.S. & in the Las Vegas area, but also here to St. Louis & the surrounding areas, greatly increasing the local economy & knowledge base of an already fascinating industry well overdue to these parts. As with all successful businesses it takes money to accomplish this task. It takes 'investors' like yourself who believe in 'the arts' & the powerful message it has over all of us. It is still our primary source of entertainment & communication, & greatly shapes our youth of today & the life blood that often changes how we live & view society. We simply aim to raise the bar & know exactly how to do so, 'with your help'. We invite you to be a part of our select 'Team' at Coyote Moon Productions. We are not looking for one hit wonders. We are too wise & seasoned to expect this. What we are looking for is that select individual investor who sees the vast opportunity in the changing film market, knowing the future is in the potential of High Definition filming, & who has a passion to see his investment capital used wisely & efficiently to make a product which we can all be proud of. We seek to continue this successful strategy by making continuous films throughout the US & marketing them to the public in a positive & profitable manner throughout the world. ( Having 3 other film projects currently in Pre-Production & slated for 06, 07, & 08 start up dates) We are far from beginners, but more like seasoned veterans & visionaries who have played the Hollywood game for years & see there is a much better way of accomplishing our goals. We cannot do so without 'you'. We invite you to review our pages of proven credits, resumes, editorials, awards, & pictures along with our perspective business plan. We are an 'open door policy' production company. Should you have any questions, we invite you to view our web sights. As perspective investors we invite you to visit our film sets, appreciate your insights, & in anyway can we be of service to accommodate you in explaining the sheer 'fantasy of the film making process', we are there for you. Please feel free to contact us at any time. We look forward to meeting with you. Sincerely, Jack 'J.R.' Zdvorak
