Ticket sales, promos, sponsors, but in reality the most money is when it gets picked up by a production company or network.

how do you even get into this? like where do you connect with the people making the films? can you explain more specifically about how you end up making money?

This.

OP how did you get into this? Let's say I have $50,000 I want to put into this. How would I go about doing it?

Does it require your full time attention? Part time? Or are you just funding? Is it more like a business that you're running or simply investing?

Can you invest in those movies online? Or offline presence is a must?

So my brother has been in film 10 years. Editor, then camera, and now is a director, shoots many commercials, etc...

He has a full 22 minute pilot. It's cut a ready to go. pretty good as far as pilots go, it has a host and is in the same category as Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe.

But he won't really pick up the phone. I keep telling him to call agents, networks, etc... Just keep cold calling people. But he says things like "that's not how this business works" "the idea could get stolen".

I'm a salesman and think he's just scared to put himself out there.

What does he need to do to get the pilot picked up?

how do you find them?

I've been in situations like this. A guy has a pilot idea, screenplay/teleplay, even has the thing filmed. The thing is, in order for something to be picked up, it needs a full team. You need an EP with money, multiple producers, art director, a UMP with at least 4 PAs. You'll need to pitch the idea to all of these people (except the PAs, of course.), and try to get sponsors that fit the theme of your pilot. Hell, call IKEA up and they'll send you free shit so long as you put it on set.

My point is, even if his pilot is filmed, in order to be picked up, it'll need to be filmed again. The idea is to have a plan for distribution to networks (and streaming networks) BEFORE you even start filming.

You have to be a big boy and have in-person meetings.
