Write a good one and send it to famous people- yes that's right, not professionals. Do not hassle them, just try for endorsements. Actors or whoever - from TV hosts to local radio people who may have an interest.
Take endorsements and make cash by showing their support to potential backers.
If they will act in it- all the better... even the TV hosts, in fact, especially someone who can act but doesn't get famed for it would get you masses of publicity..
Of course it must be great...

And play in a school hall to people coming in for a laugh after being out being stoned all night... and decide that to be succesful first somewhere else would be an idea...
