Business Opportunities

One producer’s YouTube video, featuring giant robots invading the city of Montevideo, has landed him a $30 million Hollywood movie deal.

Fede Alvarez’s “Ataque de Panico” (Panic Attack) shows the gigantic CGI humanoids capturing the capital of Uruguay as citizens flee; the 5 minute clip has been viewed 1.5 million times on YouTube. It was created on a budget of $300. Alvarez says that after uploading the video on a Thursday, he was receiving offers from Hollywood on the Monday.

He eventually accepted a $30 million dollar deal from Ghost House Pictures for a full-length sci-fi thriller set in Uruguay and Argentina. The movie won’t be based on the YouTubeYouTubeYouTube

video itself, Alvarez told the BBC.

While it makes for a remarkable story, you might be less surprised after watching the clip: it has a Hollywood polish that implies Alvarez’s work is ready for its big screen debut.

This is just one way to start a business online. Many people want to know how to discover what their passion actually is. Its difficult for anyone other than yourself to determine how to discover your passion. I mean, it can be done, but I think that there is a better way. As I read this story, I was amazed that this producer put his work up on youtube with a budget of 300 bucks. Think about that for a moment…this movie was something that this guy had to get out. It didn’t matter to him where it went or how much it cost. It was his passion. A passion is something that has to be expressed. It has to get out of you. No one but you can really know what that is.
