America and many of our European partner states are now officially out of the recession, while good old Great Britain languishes in the longest ever recorded recession on record. Many UK businesses are in a state of panic and chaos.

In the grand scheme of things it's unfortunate that many of these business owners don't know that there's a reason why the Chinese view chaos as opportunity.

It is because during business chaotic times many business owners adopt the 'Ostrich Syndrome' i.e. they bury their heads in the ground waiting for the recession to end. However if they were to poke their head above the parapet they would realise that business opportunities abound in times of chaos.

During the past few years a number of my business clients have been involved in the UK and overseas film industry. I have dealt with various aspects of film financing and film investments for film investors. Every individual film investor or consortium of film investors understand that film investment is classified as a very high risk investment.

It is on this basis that film investors are seeking creative alternatives like personally identifying film scripts for sale and approaching the script writers direct. Their main aim is to build a 3 to 5 film portfolio to minimise and spread the risk of their investment.

In today's economic uncertainty a film investor is looking to identify a 5 film portfolio development slate. In this film portfolio the film investors might include a comedy film, a horror film, a romantic film, a drama and an action film.

By structuring their film portfolio in this fashion film investors can reach out to different audiences as opposed to producing five comedy films and only attracting the same audience. Film investors know that if one movie from their 5 film portfolio is successful then the film investment is also likely to be successful.

Business owners should look at the tactics of film investors when seeking film scripts for sale & film investments. In today's economic downturn, every savvy film investor is looking to get the most bang out their film investment bucks.

In this article the writing guru highlights how obtaining film funds & film money to spread the business risk by diversifying into a film portfolio & going direct to the secret source is proving a viable option.

Historically a film investor would have been approached a screenwriting agent offering an investment prospectus of one single film and seeking film financing. Every film investor who provided the film funds then took a huge risk on this single genre film becoming a box office hit.

In order to minimise their risks and maximise their success rate, many film investors are adopting a more proactive business approach by contacting a screenplay writing guru who has their own development slate of film scripts for sale. It's a match made in heaven as the writing guru has the film scripts for sale and the film investor has the film money to develop the film portfolio.

Imagine for one moment you are a film investor and you are approached to invest film financing in one of the following two opportunities. Obviously your main concern is gaining a maximum return on your film investments.

Film Investor & Film Investors Secret Film Scripts For Sale - Film Investment Opportunity #1 Single Feature Film

Film Title: The Oldest Hells Angel. Genre: Docu-Drama. Audience Age: 50 years and over. Investment: £5,000,000M.

Every film investor understands that on the face of it, this feature film has a very limited audience. Although savvy film investors would probably insist on a Hollywood A list actor playing the lead role which would broaden the audience viewer age.

However from a film investment perspective providing the film money for this type of single film investment can only be deemed as extremely high risk. Recouping these types of film investments are extremely difficult which is why more and more film investors are seeking to invest their film financing into a film portfolio.

Film Investor & Film Investors Secret Film Scripts For Sale - Film Investment Opportunity #2 Five Film Portfolio

#1: Film Title: The Farm. Genre: Horror. Audience Age: 15 years to 35 years. Investment: £1,000,000M.

#2: Film Title: Bouncers. Genre: Comedy. Audience Age: 13 years to 45 years. Investment: £1,000,000M.

#3: Film Title: SOG Special Operations Group. Genre: Military/Action. Audience Age: 18 years to 50 years. Investment: £1,000,000M.

#4: Film Title: Devils On Horseback. Genre: Western. Audience Age: 15 years to 45 years. Investment: £1,000,000M.

#5: Film Title: The Irish Governess. Genre: Romance. Audience Age: 13 years to 75 years. Investment: £1,000,000M.

As a film investor, imagine being approached by a writing guru with a pre packaged film portfolio which includes the above five film scripts for sale.

Which film investment would you consider providing your film financing for? On the face of it, it's a no brainer. You have a five to one shot at recouping your film money and this is one of the reasons how film investors are seeking to minimise the risk of their film funds.

Just as film investors are changing track so should other conventional business owners. Economic hard times never last and it's frequently those business owners who make hay while the sun shines who are the winners in times of economic hardship.

The sad part is that many film investors have no idea where to go to find a writing guru with a film portfolio of film scripts for sale. In fact very few screenplay agents are aware of these people.

However they exist and some of them are members of writing groups strategically located around the world. Many of them live an almost secretive lifestyle. You might try a Google search for Writing Guru as the first step of your research.

Your business may not require film investments,film funds or film money which I have only used as an example for this article. But in tough trading times every business owner needs money, funds and this may come from external investment or from internal investment from identifying new income generation streams.

It may sound cliché, but it's relevant to mention, 'when the going gets tough,the tough need to get going.'
