WOOT! We got our first product placement for the movie I am directing!

Very exciting! This is my first feature film since commercials!

We have several dozen companies we are approaching and sent off five requests.

The first request we sent off already got a yes from a local beer company!

So now trying to figure out how much we want.

I suppose I should keep the crew completely plastered through the whole production

I suggest next, product placement from a water company (bottled water companies are really into that sort of thing). Then, from local or national clothing companies that you & the producers most like. Gotta keep the director & producers happy!

napkins, coasters...all kinds of stuff that will fill out the scenario!

Congratulations and good luck with your production.

Its a comedy parody of the old 1950s atomic monster movies.

Yes, we have a flash back with a drunk alien would-be conqueror talking to a young Hitler in a beer-garden.

Then another bar in a 1950s Bowling alley just before mind controlled zombies invade it.

Product tee shirts weren't big in the fifties, but if you come forward to the late eighties on, tee shirts with logos were big--and of course, the wet tee shirt contests came into vogue back then. Now I'm thinking of a young Hitler in a wet tee shirt contest....that's some sick humor, right there!!!!
