i just read from yahoo this unknown producer from uruguay who created a movie and uploaded it to youtube. it has been viewed 1.5 million times and luckily, he got the attention of Hollywood. after the bidding, from an investment of $300, he accepted the $30M offer. Anyone dare to invest on such a return of investment?

Hey drakesuyat, I will never dare to invest on such a return of investment unless I was prepared to leae my old life. I wouldn't like to not see my friends and family on a daily basis and be away somewhere working.

Rags to riches in days with one good idea? That is what is called talent. Unfortunately, talent is rarely niticied in today's world from hiring of employees to everytrhing else. If you have an idea, you too can think of making millions.

they say people who make it on top do things differently. a lot of effort has been exerted on the making of this movie for sure. not to mention those times when he was still studying the profession he had mastered now. its really a long investment on time plus the never ending passion in doing great results. love your work and it will give something youll love in return.

That's cool, so tell me, who is the producer? What was his film about on Youtube? Are you able to post the website link to view his video? I am sure something attracted Hollywood to his video, perhaps he did a good job filming or had some good artistic talent. I cannot say for sure as you didn't tell me his name and you didn't list the video so we could see.
As for the investment, of course that's nice that he put that much money and now will be working for millions of dollars! Thank you for myLotting. Cheers!

This clearly shows, that you can make money, if you are intelligent. This producer must have been quite intelligent as well as computer savvy, to have posted his entire picture in YouTube. As the saying goes, Fortune favours the brave, and this producer is definitely a very brave person. He could have lost it all, but now he is laughing all the way to the bank.

and persistent too. im sure thats not the first time he uploaded a video. but i doubt if it ever comes into his mind about earning that big? maybe its the love of his job that made it to an amazing result.

Hi drakesuyat! If I had a very brilliant idea and could make people get interested with it, why not! He had a good concept. Though it was lowly budgeted, it sure captured the viewer's attention. And to his luck, he got rewarded by a very good deal. Happy mylotting!

hello drake,
Wow, how i wish that would have happened to me. you see before i got to know mylot i was addict in making you-tube videos and at that time they were all good until i discover mylot. I've tried my best to spread my videos but i guess it wasn't a good taste to them

as they would always say, try and try until you succeed. im sure this guy has uploaded a lot of videos before he even got noticed. it youll just watch his video, nothing seems to be extra ordinary with it. maybe hollywood has something more in their minds.
