Hi , 

 

Happy New Year and Cheers to a MUCH better 2021 than 2020. 

Today let's look at one of 2020's few major success stories, The Queen's Gambit. Turns out, not everyone had a dreary year. 

 

The short story: The Queen's Gambit took 30 years to make AND the producer, Allan Scott, was in the hospital ill with Covid when it was broadcast on Netflix for the first time. 

 

There is almost no success story in life, much less in entertainment, that doesn't have a dramatic back story and The Queen's Gambit is no exception. Sort of like how every great movie is a dramatic back story, fraught with challenges, that ends in triumph, right? 

 

The lesson here is DON'T GIVE UP! Start 2021 knowing your film will be made. It might even get a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. And yes, it might take 30 years, but we hope to help you make that window MUCH shorter. 

 

We highlight these stories to show you it isn't easy, but the most committed filmmakers will always get the job done. More examples of the road hard travelled? Read More Inspirational Stories.

"A Financing Masterclass For a Fraction of the Price! Five Stars! I have a broad, basic understanding of film financing. I know most of the steps that need to be taken and I know the material that must be present within a film investor package. However, knowledge/theory of what needs to be done and practically executing it are two very different things. The Film Financing toolkit brings both of those worlds together, you get the theory of how a film investor package works along with the practical execution of the packet. At the price of range, it is by far the most valuable resource I have come across on the internet. IF you are trying to produce an independent film, spend the money now to be prepared later - unpreparedness can be very costly later on. This should be your number one resource for financing your independent film. "
