This Is Gonna Be A Serious Matter! I Have A True Crime Story To Tell

[story2tell]

guys, this matter has been lingering in my mind for years. i think is about time to bring this up to see if i can fulfill this dream.

first of all, i was a member of an international organised crime. international meaning we bring our operation to other
countries in Asia and sometimes in Europe. we operate in a group of 4-6 members and we deal with money that could
amount to millions of dollar. Money can buy evils, sometimes we have to work with the corrupted enforcers like police personnel,
banker and lawyer to complete a plot and or convince our victim. most of our victims are high profile business owner and sometimes
celebrities. in the course of my operation, i came across many interesting people and dramatic incidents. sex, woman, money,
underground activities, black eat black and many if i can patch all these incredible true encounters up, it can actually qualified
to make up a block buster movie. because the storyline is true, it will be better then many Hollywood block buster movies.

ok, now come my questions.

1. i'm looking for anyone here who is keen to invest this production.
2. looking for a manager to help to link me to a production house which is keen to produce this. preferably an international
production house.

Feel free to post your comment here but please be constructive becos this is a truely serious matter.
PM me if you want to discuss in private.

TIA

first, why don't you come up with a script?

Sounds very interesting but risky. Remember Royston Tan did a Gangster film called "15"? It was really good but was banned in Singapore. It is interesting in Singaporean context but i doubt it can be a blockbuster if it were only screened in asia. I can see the limits of this film. If you are not experienced in film-making i suggest you start small, a short 30minute film can actually tell your story. Making a movie takes a lot of hard work, you have your life story but when it comes to making the film a big hit, you need to hire a script writer to make the story more interesting and intense.

Though i'm not a good writer, but I will try to write a short n brief one.

Ban? I think my story is of different from gangsterism. Gangsterism promotes violent n street fighting.
Organized crime is all about brain game, unexpected events, professional planning. The movie will
create many WOW effect, things that ppl cannot imagine n it happens. Things that one doesn't expect
anyone would believes n it actually convinced the victim again n again until he goes burst, n still believing.
Expect the unexpected. That's the power of professional organized syndicate.

Yes, with a good script writter n a good director, I'm sure it can even be better then the movie 'catch me if u can'.

Don't get your hopes too high. Don't compare to other movies, it doesn't make yours any better. Go for a completely different style. To top off the blockbuster list, you will need an extremely good screenwriter like Jeff Nathanson. A director as good as Danny Boyle/Royston Tan. Having Talents like Christopher Lee or james Franco. Other Film crews such as Cinematographers, editors, location managers, set designers, prop makers, Vfx artists and so much more. If you want to make your movie better than "Catch me if you can" you would need a very clever and smart writer which i don't think asia can knock it off.

Again no point in seeing if your movie can be better than other movies. It's all about the fun and excitement. If you just want to show your story and not care about the filming production plans then i suggest you go write a book instead. Making a movie is easier said than done. It takes millions of dollars to make one and if you are lucky enough, MDA might just approve it.

if one doesnt compare or see how other similar storyline be featured in other movie, how could one improve?
styling will be depending by the director's direction. i only providing the true story.

i'm not in a hurry to sell my story, i can wait for the right person that has the capability to produce and vision of the value.

Good luck finding one in Singapore. I can tell you right now there are many that are willing to take the job but are they good enough to execute?

I don't think you can 'wait for the right' person to tell the story ... If you do so, most prob, you will bring the story to your grave ...

Movies is not just creating whatever you have experience in real life ... Its much much more ...

If your story is amazing, it doesn't mean its suitable for movie ... Example, it might be too long to completely tell the story ... Or too short without enough 'agenda'. Having the victim believe again and again might be trilling in real life but movie audiences like a meaning behind it. If in the end, he still kena scam and maybe die and the syndicate win, you are going towards royson's road of unconventional movie and people don't like it (unless directed by ppl like Night Shyamalan (LOL). So don't bet on it ... Real life plots might not be suitable for Film. Infact, many are changed just to make sure audiences can accept it.

The only way the script writer can do what you 'experience' is for you yourself to be the script writer ...

Alot of good movies comes from directors taking up a book written by someone and they found it amazing and decide to create it into a movie.

So, the first step is to write a full length book (of at least 500-1000 pages) and publish it or give directors, script writers, etc to read ... Maybe one day, someone will pick it up and decide to do a movie of it ...

Nobody is going to jump to you saying, i'm very interested to produce your movie ... (unless you are talking about indie, which means your film has a good chance of disappearing into the indie market)
If you have no intention to earn from this and keep it free and shared online, there is a higher chance someone (short film videographers) out there will take your plot to shoot but beware as high chance, your story will definitely not be followed as what you experience.

Don't be too into the idea that your story is amazing and full of twist. There are many people out there who has seen more or has better plots at any given time.

As they say, "One mountain is higher then another".

Cheers.

Maybe I didn't put it correctly, I'm looking for a international production house, not a local. I know the local cannot achieve what I want.
I was in the real picture, so I know exactly how it should effectively put on screen.

Yes, writing a book is one option, but I wouldn't go for this option for now.

No, my story is not a someone's life story. It's about organized crime, how it operates, who they targeting,
Their inside story among the members, their secret hideout and etc. You have seen many drugs trading stories,
U hv also seen numerous gangsterism stories And mine is more than drugs n gangsterism story and no one has
ever produce it n I'm going to expose them all. Even FBI wants to know my trade, how not interesting could it be?

Frankly speaking, ultimately we r talking about exposing a trade secret here. No one will do it for free. Not me.
Maybe hundred of ppl out there are still depending on this trade to survive. One day, I may also need to sail out
To depend on it to survive. I don't know. like my many comrades, I will bring the secret to my grave if is needed.

So again, I'm looking for someone that has connection to international production house that is keen to produce
My crime story. Link me to the production house, become my manager of the project, we share the profit.

Cheers

I see this going somewhere like L.A. Confidential and Miami Vice or Heat if you have the right tools to do so. Maybe we will work together one day when I am good enough. Good luck!

story2tell>>> I think you should do a "pitching". Something like a sinopsis about your story. Get a copywriter to help you out with your experiences. Send them out to production companies in Hollywood or even in Hong Kong. Just my 2 cents.

 

[milez]

Without a solid story outline or even an executive summary, no one will bite the bullet.
And you yourself said you are a pro scammer. Who knows if this is not a scam?

Better to write a ebook, publish it on kindle and iBook. You may strike it rich there first. Then the steven spielbergs, the ridley scotts, the francis ford coppola, the oliver stone may come knocking. Just like JK Rowling.

yes, but if i can find a producer directly, i can save the cost for getting a copywriter myself.

google and found a few story writing sites, they look very pro to me.
will look around for a site to post then.

thx for your tips.

 

[story2tell]

guys, i started to write a bit. am wishing to post my story on a platform that can help attract prospect from global readers.
any good story writing website you think is good for me to post?

TIA

 

[story2tell]

guys, any writers here is keen to co-publishing the book? hopefully one day, someone from the international big screen would pick up the story for a mega movie.

plz PM me to discuss.

 

[story2tell]

hi guys, i'm here again. am still searching for like-minded people to build a name for a true crime stories book.
the reason for the delay is partly becos i was quite busy with my personal stuffs last year and also i didn't want
to rush into the project without a good planning. i really think that my stories would make a big name in Asia
and some parts of the world. as i mentioned in my earlier post before, our operation was very niche and tailored
to every different victims base on their knowledge, wealth and background. see, big businessmen are not that
stupid afterall right? but each has their weak point.

well, so far, i have found a writer that has experience in book publishing. he used to publish his own books.

what i'm looking for now is;

1. i'm looking to form up a team with like minded people (book lovers) to write my crime stories and publish them into a book.
2. i still looking for creative writer to effectively piece up my journey of crimes and be written onto a book.
3. an illustrator to help enhancing the story with good use of sketches in perspective.

i don't know who else i need but i'm serious. So if you think you are as serious as me to make a name out of this project,
lets talk and make it happens. no obligation.

Feel free to post your comment here for open discussion or you can PM me if you want to discuss it in private.

the following are some recent news pertaining to scam. those scams mentioned below are just part of our some
big operation. can only make some bucks out of the few ignorance people only. a big syndicate would not do this
to tarnish their name and jeopardize their big plan. i have more sophisticated tricks than the below to share. and what
is more interesting is the process of operation, how we read our victim's mind, assess their ability (money),
unfold their background and trap down. the achievement in taking down a big man.

can you read my mind?

let me indulge you with my 2 cents...

write your script first, if you can't then get/hire someone to do so. Unfortunately, the good ol' days of just pitching a film with only a premise is gone in Hollywood, so even if you can verbally tell good stories, it doesn't mean it can be made into a good film. The only times when you get a chance to verbally pitch ideas is also when you have established yourself with at least 1 good film, then the money-men will ask you about your next film. Then only will you need the gift of a gab to conjure something up before actually having a script.

You aren't talking about making a documentary so true encounters aren't that relevant. Who cares if it really happened, people just want to be entertained at the movies and the more sensationalised it is, the more inaccuracies there will be.

I don't want to be a wet blanket, but having an idea doesn't mean you have a good film. Chances are your ex-colleagues also thought about making their experiences into a film too, but have they? Write your script first dude, else no one will be seriously interested.

1. Good try but you're on a forum of photographers... people with the kind of money to make films you want won't really come to such a site, so your approach is all wrong. If you were truly serious about your film, then go start a kick-starter project and then advertise it here. I'm sure there are interesting characters on this forum but to ask for investors like that? (*Shakes head*)

2. Why a manager? To manage you and your interest? The first 3 positions involved in any film are the scriptwriter, director and producer. In your case, you probably need to find a producer you want to work with, feel comfortable with, trust and believe in his/her abilities to make your idea into a reality.

I'm assuming you know nothing about filmmaking and how the industry works in Singapore or abroad. There are many many factors to consider and hence you need a team of people to help you along the way. The bigger and more complicated your project is, the more help you will need. But before you can convince anyone else, go convince your producer and director. If the director and you aren't writing the script yourselves, then just hire someone else to do it.

Once you have gotten your script and getting into pre-production, drop me a message. I do sound and I reckon I'm pretty darn good at it.
