Chapter 10: Professional Audiences for Films?
After running around all afternoon and most of the evening, meeting with dozens of film crews, Hawk finally found an opportunity.
Reviewing the situation with The Heights of the District, Hawk’s eyes settled on Brandon. Combining this with memories from his previous life, he began crafting a plan.
Brandon’s local background and strong network were critical.
Hawk patted Brandon’s shoulder. “I have a plan—how about making some money together?”
Brandon, still a college student, replied, “I’m happy to help. Just treat me to dinner, and that’s enough.”
Helping wasn’t enough; Hawk needed him fully committed. “If the plan fails, we both stay broke. But if it succeeds, I’ll give you 20% of the profits.”
Brandon hesitated. He still didn’t believe a film about Mexicans could turn a profit.
Hawk played his trump card. “Next time you ask that girl out, bring her Tiffany jewelry or a Chanel bag. Trust me, the outcome will be different—she might even start chasing you.”
