Private Movie Investors in China

Movie business is booming in China is the last ten years. Then-controversial directors like Zhang Yimou and Tian ZhuangZhuang now are able to produce movies within the perimeters the goverment allows. More and more movies are financed, promoted and launched by private companies. This is another industry that just fits perfectly with my interest. Maybe I can run a small company with a modest starting capital, find a good director with potential like the WKW in 1991, create some buzz through internet (blair Witch Project) or word of mouth through highly selected art-house cinemas (Sideways), and then lastly make some nice money. This is fun to do for me but the money and the connections in the circle will be good road blocks.
