(even if I really have to raise the money myself).
I'll be putting 1/2 of my paycheck towards this
Aren't you a part-time Walmart worker? Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it would take you literally 100 years to save that much.
You might think that $350k is only 10% of your annual salary, but you should really use a calculator on this one to be sure.
I am indeed, however i'm making about $500 a check after taxes based on a 54hr work week(bi-weekly). $350k would be my startup costs before the price of the film from the distributor. If you go to the site I've listed, it lists the complete bill of materials including all new concession equipment, counter tops, carpet, chairs, sound, etc...
Oh, okay. It'll only take 53 years of setting aside half your paycheck, then. Carry on.
