Hi , 

 

It takes a lot of effort to really understand the ins and outs of film financing, which is the job of every producer. Either understand it yourself or partner with someone who does. 

 

Luckily there are 1000s of free resources out there to help you do just this. 

 

This week we got another great email, from someone named Richard. Here's the entire email, "Feature fiilmmaker/documentary filmmaker" 

 

Tip #1 is don't be like Richard. 
Tip #2 is read Independent Film Financing - How It Works written by attorney Deborah Hrbek. 

 

If YOU had money to invest - would you want to give it to Richard or to someone who approaches you having learned from Ms. Hrbek's article? 

As filmmakers, you have strong, strong competition. Everyone is competing for far money than is available to invest to what is inherently a very risky investment. The investors job is to mitigate their risk. Which type of filmmaker seems less risky to you?
