I had heard in the past that investing in movies could be a good way to support the local art community. You wrote that a person interested in investing should get a good idea of how the project will be executed, and how much time and money it will require. A person would definitely need to know this, as finding a project that matches your budget would be a high priority.

That’s really a mistaken thing. You can invest in Films and Make money from them. See, the cases of many big hits of Indian Film Industry.
According to us there are two factors mainly depending on the returns of movies.
1. Minimum Guarantee of actor/ artists (Applicable only if the film has an Industry known face)
2. The second thing is film must have a strong story that is totally convenient for the current generation.

Now comes to your final query. How to make money from short films? Here’s one such link

First and foremost, this is not an industry where returns are proportionate to effort. There is absolutely NO guarantee that your product will sell, doesn’t matter how well you make it. So, only invest money you can afford to lose. The great idea, the smart marketing strategy, the low budget, economy, efficiency, all these are mere details.

It’s a gamble, and worth it if you are happy to lose money over nine films to make a profit in the tenth. It is just the way it goes. In Prasad Labs in Chennai alone there are more than 3000 unsold, finished feature films!

So, if you don’t know this industry, and don’t want to take a gamble, stay away.

Short films aren’t worth the paper they’re scribbled upon by 99% of those who fancy themselves as film makers.

If you are in love with the medium, by all means, sell your house and invest!

Otherwise, no advice is true enough.

Investing Films is not exactly a great idea. Recently, I invested in a Short Film. The director said- I will get returns surely. But, the films didn’t seen anywhere except two short film festivals.
