In their article, 21 Of The Best Indie Movies Of All Time, Esquire Magazine describes indie films as "sacred and fertile ground for creativity, free from the pressures of big budgets and studio meddling." Â
We found that incredibly inspirational and it brought us images of standing in the end zone, knowing you have 100 yards to go and need a series of downs, plays, and top quality teammates to get you there. As it turns out, football is a great metaphor for indie film financing. You are going to get tackled and there's going to be some major defense trying to block you, but if you get up enough times and have the best teammates on your side, then as a producer, you can quarterback your way to
a touchdown.Â
Â
OK, enough with the metaphor.Â
Â
Esquire goes on to say, "Today, 'indie' is less a genre and more an attitude – an anti-corporate, fiercely independent approach to filmmaking that tells the stories that big studios won't, often in ways they'd never consider..."
So check out Esquire's list, find some inspiration, support an indie film you haven't seen before. And remember, every one of these movies found financing...so it's never impossible. It's just reserved for those who invest in themselves and do the work!

"It's like a Crash Course in Film Financing. This template, actually the whole package, has been invaluable and well worth the money I spent on it. So much information is packed into what I got that I'm almost dizzy from it all."
Â
"Such an amazing resource for indie filmmakers. I'm an attorney and still found loads of value from these materials. I had some foundation established but the Platinum Bundle gave me so many more ideas to make my presentations so much better. Thank you, Melissa, for making these resources
available!"
- Dori, Attorney & Producer Â
"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!"
- James
Â
"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."
- Michael
Â
"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!"
Â
"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."
