Investment in any project should only be contemplated if you have an accute interest in the subject being produced, and this is true in terms of movie production. If you don't have an interest do not do it. Investment is not a short term situation.
Before you even consider an investment you should first of all do a project report for yourself. This is needed to ensure that the film makers have undertake sufficient research to assure themselves that all of the elements of the film are in orded. That the script is of sufficient quality, and that they have all the relevant parts such as cast, equipment etc in place. The last thing you need is to invest your money only to find that, because of an oversight, something has been forgotten and, possibly the rectifying of that, could put the whole project in jeopardy.
You need of course to have money in this scenario. The money you invest should be money that you do not need as there is no guarantee that the production will be a success.

Having invested, take an interest. Get involved because it is your money that is at risk. Make sure the director, camera operators and cast are pulling their weight.
You also need determination. Determination to see the project through to its conclusion. And your involvement will not end there. Completing production is only getting the project to a saleable position. From that point you need to sell it. Sell it to the movie groups or clubs, promote it so that you attract more viewers, ensure that as many papers and magazines as possible review it.
At the end of all this you may, or may not, have made money.
