Robert Pafundi, Author

Robert Pafundi authored Safe Stardom: How to Protect Your Children on Their Road to Fame, which was released by Dunham Books in the Spring of 2014.

Safe Stardom is much more than a book, it’s the start of a New Movement whose mission is protecting Hollywood’s most vulnerable and most precious, its entertainment children.

Safe Stardom explores:

  • The legal and practical differences between a talent agent and a talent manager.
  • Who is entitled to the child’s earnings and how the money flows.
  • What controls the parents have in the process.
  • The deal points that matter most in film and TV contracts.
  • The key deal points that are exclusive to child entertainers.
  • What role does an entertainment attorney plays in your child’s career.
  • How the “rules” of the industry are different for children and adults.

Changing The Face of Entertainment
BoxOffice Pitch has been designed from the ground up, by INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS who have built a $100M FILMMAKER FUND for the sole purpose of FUNDING FILMS that score high using our proprietary COMMERCIAL VIABILITY SCORE system.

We understand how difficult it can be to develop a sound concept for a feature film. We also understand that it is normally even more difficult to get the funding required to produce and distribute this film concept. This is why our team of industry experts have developed the proprietary Commercial Viability Score, and have directly connected it to our $100M Filmmaker Fund.

3 times each year, our team gets together to review the submissions for funding requests. We give each film a CVS score. Following the scoring process, the top 2% of films are then sent an invitation to attend a live pitch session where you will show our team why your project deserves to be chosen for funding.
