Cafe Press for Movies
Joe Weisenthal had an idea for a company kind of like Cafe Press - which makes T-shirts, mugs and lunch boxes based on your design and gives you part of the profit from sales - except it would be called Film Press, and it be a no-fee company that makes a movie based on whatever script you give them and gives you 50 percent of the profits.
Most people would like to sell their script to a studio and get the money up front in case their movie turns out to be a big flop, but Film Press would be a good alternative for people who have scripts that are basically unsalable, but would be profitable if they existed as a movie.
