Trigger Street Productions
www.TriggerStreet.com
Trigger Street Productions, Inc. was formed in 1997 by Kevin Spacey to develop and produce entertainment in a variety of mediums. Realizing that the path to his own success would have been much rockier without the support and encouragement of many outstanding mentors, Spacey has sought out a way to inspire, nurture, and help bring exposure to new and undiscovered talent. This philosophy has become the catalyst for the second step of his vision.

TriggerStreet.com was founded in January 2002 as the web-based filmmaker and screenwriter's community of record- an interactive mechanism for the purpose of discovering and showcasing new and unique talent. Based on the principles of creative excellence, it provides industry access and exposure to help build the careers of notable new filmmakers and screenwriters of our day.

Their mission is to encourage the creative process of filmmaking and screenwriting by providing hands on, peer to peer, objective criticism and letting the material be judged on its own merit. Offering an engaging avenue of exploration for both first time and veteran film directors, writers, and enthusiasts, anyone at all, who is attempting to bring his or her vision to the screen.

Where Producers Find Money
(Hollywood Reporter July 29, 2002)
The grid below shows how companies attributed various parts of their current film budgets to money sources for low-, medium- and high-budget projects. Each respondent had a different mix of financing, so the columns adds up to more than 100%. The numbers for each source are an average of the percentages reported by producers who tap that specific source. So, for instance, among the respondents who use subsidies in the low-budget range, an average of 15% of budgets are financed this way.
