Hi ,

One of the best sections on our site is Indie Filmmaker Tips, where those who have raised funding and successfully finished their films share their best tips with you. Equally as important, those who have made mistakes share their lessons learned.

If you spend some time on this section, you'll get inspiration, learn from others, save money on your budget and maybe learn that one thing that is the difference between writing a script and producing your film.

Jerry Movie Trailer - Melody shares how they raised film financing, what camera they used to save big and how to negotiate services for free.
Once A Clown Short Film - Murphy shares his biggest Crowdfunding tips and what he would definitely do differently the next time around. You can learn as much from other filmmakers' mistakes as you can from their successes.

Other filmmakers share wonderful fundraising ideas, like a Battle of the Bands and a Paint and Wine night. Not only are these super creative ideas, but you are guaranteed that anyone who participated is now staked in being a paying audience and social media influencer for your movie.

"When I presented my project to my investor, they were blown away how prepared I was and rarely see filmmakers have half the documents I supplied. It showed I was serious as a filmmaker and business person.

I purchased the Gold package with the PPM. The PPM took all the heavy lifting off and saved me so much money that would of cost me thousands from an attorney. The package got me prepared from business plan to financials. I did my research on my film and similar films and just plugged in the info. I had everything prepared and professionally done. On top of that, they offered a review after I followed the steps they gave me. !!"

"Just want to thank you for your materials and help over the past year. I could not have raised the $1.5 million or made this film without the materials you provided. The bargain of my career!"

"Finished my deck on Friday. Got it into a few potential investor’s hands over the weekend, and by Monday had 3 out of the 10 available memberships spoken for at $160K each. The revenue projections and film comparable services by NASH, along with the business plan and pitch deck templates were instrumental in presenting the project in such a way that financially minded potential investors could understand the movie business, the market and how my project could possibly give them a substantial ROI. Best money I’ve ever spent."

"Undervalued! Honestly, the more I reviewed the assets of this package, the more I thought there had been a mistake, and that I was accidentally given a higher priced kit. It's unbelievable the amount of time, research, education and competency that is offered here. What this will save you in preparation is only surpassed by what this will earn you in execution. If you're looking for ROI, this is the Slumdog Millionaire of Film Business Toolkits. Get it...and get to work!"

"Invaluable Resource - This is my first venture into fund-raising and Film Proposals is the perfect software to help me get started. Clear guidance through the complex business of film financing."
