If you have money just fucking go to film festival networking events, you'll have film directors and even other producers throwing themselves at you.

If you don't have money hook up with a talented film director... or 2
Someone who is building a following and work out a strategy to promote them, offer to market their films for them: entering film festivals, contacting international sales agents, contacting broadcasters.
Also come up with 6 treatments together, like 2 pages for each treatment that you can pitch to any money men or executives.

Some other random thoughts for potential producers

>Hire a line producer
>A line producer does all the costings for a film. You know what's better than having a marketable script and maybe a minor celeb attached to it? Knowing EXACTLY how much it will cost to make

>Find international Co-Producers
>If Australia is offering you a 10% tax offset because you have Australian citizenship on your production budget, and you can get 200k from the Canadian film board because you have a Canadian actor in the lead.
>Why wouldn't you take advantage of both?

>IP, IP, IP
>Intellectual Property. It can be anything, a news article, a blog, a novel, a the rights to remake a film from Thailand. Anything that makes an enticing story.
>You can to the moon if you buy books which aren't published yet but have huge hype, and when they start flying off the shelves you can either resell the rights to Hollywood or hire a screenwriter (maybe the original author) and get a studio to Greenlight the script
>If you paid 100grand for the rights, paid the screenwriter 60k, you could sell a hot property for easily 500k. Way way more iif you have an actor or director of some value attached.

But more important to remember is that the real money in Film making isn't in producing. It's in distribution. Buying the rights to a film some other poor sap has spent years producing. Then you resell it onto broadcasters, SVOD services, maybe even give Netflix a slate of films.

Become a sales agent, buy the rights in like 50 territories to some Japanese film or TV show, get it redubbed by some cheap actors who aren't union, and then sell it to English speaking territories.
