I couldn't understand what he was saying???
Comment from : @TinaJesse859

i started an llcccc and hired other people to do everything - i don't even own a camera Sir, i do believe this is the worst advice for aspiring filmmakers I have ever heard

I plan on naming my company after a mythological god of stories, my ideas are Apollo studios, Phoebus studios, Brigid studios, Bragi studios, Svarog sudios, or Ptah studios
Comment from : @HeraclesKleos-os4ek

Why does he keep calling it an 'LLCC'? Does he mean LLC?
Comment from : @OrdnanceTV

LLCC button

Legal zone is a waste You can do it yourself Applying at your local state building and company trademarks app online Also, legal zone hold all legal rights to your company brand

Just made this account and I’m planning make some short films soon it would help a lot if you could subscribe
Comment from : @Ent1ty3

I will have to agree with him about starting small The fact is I like it that way
Comment from : @creolelady182

I'm confused So he hires other production companies, but he can still claim the work under his production company?
Comment from : @theblackrose7935

I did two LLC Co's The first I had a partner that messed well with my skill set We did a few things, but we were undisciplined on certain business things, and eventually I ended my partnership due to other things The second I started myself, but I was reaching for something out of desperation more than a goal I felt that there was no one to mentor me, but in hindsight I get easily frustrated when I can't move forward for whatever reason I helped others with their projects, and so far I've seen more positive & learning experience that way
Comment from : @garytucker3563

Non related topic, but his back pain could actually be his lungs The lungs are closer to the back muscles and spinal cord, hope that helps anyone experiencing the same
Comment from : @garytucker3563

Great Interview 😊
Comment from : @cloveleeproductions

I started my production company Red Bus Movies Ltd, during COVID It's been a struggle, but we're on course to shoot three films in 2024
Comment from : @dougiebrimson

The interviewer was so helpful in properly articulating and expounding on the guest's responses That was the saving grace
Comment from : @Crewelperleology

This wasn’t a interview on “how to start a production company “ to much random conversation off topic

Comment from : @anuradason9542

I hope to start my own animation production company someday but I want to build up experience, get friends, & improve my writing skills before I do so
Comment from : @tjreed7797

Hey are there any people from New Zealand who wants to connect with me and potentially help build a film production company? If you are not from New Zealand I may be still interested in connecting/collaborating 😊🙏
Comment from : @fabfilms7259

So much bullshit
Comment from : @romeu_leite

Heard nothing new, or insightful This lets me know I'm in a good place
Comment from : @gentlemandrake

Mr Antoine Allen freakin rules
Comment from : @invertedbubble

I want to start my own product on company but I don't have any of the skills it take to run it The way Mr Allen hires out the professionals is how I wanted to do it But I'm still stuck on how to get started I went to the local small business administration and they mostly want you to do the business plan, market analysis, all that technical stuff All of that research stuff discouraged me Its like they focused on mostly what I don't have instead of telling me who I needed to connect myself with This video has been helpful I have so many stories to tell and want to help others tell their story Thanks for this channel and these interviews It helps
Comment from : @YouNeverKnowWhoIsWatching

you can also just get a DBA for each film YOUR LLC doing business as SHORT FILM DBA That's all you need for a business bank account, just a DBA and those are like $30-50
Comment from : @lasersandlayers

What's the difference between Inc & LLC? Great Vid💯
Comment from : @justanothabrotha4174

So glad I tuned in to this!!!!!
Comment from : @jimbillproductions7248

I’d heard of legalzoom before, but it’s awesome that he says go there I absolutely love this dude You can tell he’s living life the way he wants I’m getting there, but have some work to do on myself We’ll see
Comment from : @nh8444

So an LLC for the production company An LLC, for the movie and an LLC for the bank account? What's the business purpose of the bank account?
Comment from : @squirrelattackspidy

yes I'm putting together a film production company as well but it has a lot of twist and turn to itI am going to trademark the name as wellgreat advice
Comment from : @theteambayarea4960

This interview is speaking to me on so many levels Thank you!
Comment from : @moniquevamado

Thank you for the enlightenment
Comment from : @alchemicvisuals3695

Thank you so much for this advice
Comment from : @TalesByBonnie

I had to start my company MP Hafner Entertainment because I thought of an animation series, got help from two writers (one is a old classmate of mine and the other a professor of literature that I studied under) and was able to pitch to one of the biggest animation production companies in Asia to help produce the series I did everything this gentleman stated and I too have a wife who is awesome support I got a business partner now who is helping me developing more animation projects and we are going to be developing live action films I did not think of being in this position 2 years ago I'm learning the business day by day Biggest lesson I've learned so far is get people who know/do things in the industry and let them do it Don't by a tyrant Another thing is protect your IPs The film industry is full of sharks
Comment from : @MH-il1lk

Covid half killed me It killed my mom I was able to bounce back, but I still have Long Covid like him over a year later
Comment from : @allnamesaretakenful

Great story! Best wishes on your filmmaking journey!
Comment from : @YT2024Hayward

Antoine, good for you I just watched the trailer Powerful Thank you
Comment from : @RobinHackett

A lot of us that come from similar backgrounds as the black filmmakers you put on talk about things we need to know Keep these diamonds shining for their brilliance helps us reflect ours
Comment from : @free80four

I like that he is to the point and gives practical answers But I wonder why he seems like he is in such a bad mood or doesn't want to be interviewed?
Comment from : @andyf932

Thanks for this! New hero
Comment from : @drjitters

please interview some animators or animaton producers as well
Comment from : @ultraozy4085

A lot of the same advice applies to producing your own comic books, as well Good to see that all his hard work is paying off for him

Comment from : @LandofJapan

Hey Film Courage, I always love his interviews I've learned a lot from him Can you upload the FuLL interview please
Comment from : @leandra5248

I would caution anyone to NOT go through Legal Zoom Please don't
Comment from : @brownin329

I went straight to my state’s website and formed my own LLC I am in Jersey It was couple hundred bucks cheaper than legal zoom
Comment from : @BODYBYSTRUGGLE

Can you start a production company for only a screenwriter for a start an LLC? Starting really small that way can help? How do you approach it that way so I can really pick up
Comment from : @agehaynes7620

If anyone wants to network and connect! I’m an award winning filmmaker in Riverside CA!

Indie Filmmakers in Los Angeles are talking about their work on a New Series called Journals: wwwyoutubecom/EliotNetwork1
Comment from : @EliotNetwork

This is the step by step video I needed 🙏🏿
Comment from : @tuebanto196

Very interesting point of view about filmmaking Some thought provoking points in this interview
Comment from : @Tom_Roberts

This video brought to you by legal zoom Also Legal Zoom is great, but you can get your LLC and EIN for like $75 total on your own It's super easy
Comment from : @SirSeabass

Thanks for this I hopefully will start the process a year from now
Comment from : @charlesk22

I live in Fort Lauderdale but I will go to California to find my actors and camera crew I would rent a studio and live in California while I'm making my film because here in Florida they're no actors my state is very boring and we don't dress by the season's it's a retirement state really If I continue to try to make my film in Florida it would never happen because they're no famous people here in Fort Lauderdale only 1 rapper
Comment from : @starbright6579

I've been scared as shit to start an LLC I'm a writer, but I have experience in logistics which gets me hired on indie productions as a producer because I understand resource and people acquisition and management But I don't want my writing to take a back seat and suffer because I'm running a company Perhaps I can use the production company as a means to push those stories forward? I have some research to do Thanks Film Courage for another great video and one that has sparked some deeper learning/understanding
Comment from : @Aaron_Smith_OM

He is right, for the talent, use "P-List" as in "potential"
Comment from : @cineffect

Do you guys have videos based on trademarking films
Comment from : @Juttyet

Always start small so you can climb the ladder
Comment from : @CinemaGatesPictures

b"A good support system"/b The key ingredient, top of the list #itsallProvidence
Comment from : @itsallProvidence

Always wondered about the Legal Zoom aspect, I unfortunately allowed others to get in my ear and dissuade me from trademarking and getting started Eternally grateful for this video and will certainly share this with others #itsallProvidence
Comment from : @itsallProvidence

Very inspiringbrIt was great to hear him breakdown the steps he went through to get started, hopefully that helps me get setup for real sometime soon
Comment from : @Tightrope_Comedy

Articles of incorporation are for non-profit Articles of Organization (operating agreement) is for an LLC I'm sure that's what he meant
Comment from : @AndreaClinton

Salute
Comment from : @tashiallgood

That's the plan with my production company We want to use our slate of shorts to build a foundation and get enough push and fan viewership to fund and make a feature Antoine is right about trademarking your name, getting an LLC and a bank account when you're first starting off Good stuff!

Comment from : @Will-nq3fo

I’ve always had a dream to build a movie studio on the land that my family owns There is more than enough room to build one, but without capital, land is useless I can’t even afford to build a house for myself, let alone a movie studio, but one can dream
