We all love to talk a good Cannes & Sundance game, but, really what's the likelihood a first time filmmaker without an A list celeb or huge financial backing is getting into those?  Here at FilmProposals, we have a secret way of identifying the exact right film festivals (and completing your entire Film
Marketing Plan & Distribution Plan) for your film and significantly increasing your chances of both acceptance and prizes.  How to Win Film Festivals |
Now, let's say Beach Rats was one of my comparable films. It was made for less than $1M and is similar to my genre and theme. Now I head to the Beach Rats IMDB page
which shows all 12 wins and 16 nominations - BINGO! This is my film's jam right here...
- American Film Festival
- Americana Film Fest
- Casting Society of America
- GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics
and so many more! You do that for your 3-20 Comparable Films, create your chart of most nominations and wins across all your comps, and you know exactly where to focus your festival time, money and energy.
Â
And you know exactly how to complete the festival part of your Marketing Section in your Business Plan - it's like it writes itself! I promise, you don't need to reinvent the wheel here. Learn from the BEST and use our 22+ years experience working with filmmakers. Â
You then use your noms and wins to earn prize money, get publicity, announce to your social media and watch your audience start flocking to your film. You can even do this exact same process to find out more about the audiences of your Comp Films and how they were earned. How did the previous successful filmmakers target their audience? Research all the articles with the filmmakers you can find (they are always interviewed at Film Festivals) - there's always gold nuggets in
there!Â

"Financial Film Package Invaluable and Well Worth the Money!!"
Â
I've made short films before, but this is my first feature, and the first film I've tried raising money for. 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
"Thank you again so much. In no small part because of you, your fine staff, Nash & Associates and your incredible body of templates and instructions I’ve been able to raise over $400,000 dollars so far for the film. I honestly don’t think I would have been able to raise a dime if not for the detailed and professional deck I was able to put together following your guidelines." - Michael
Â
"I love this program. I'm new to this industry and this is helping me become more professional. I have spent a lot of time working on my own and getting things accomplished but my projects are getting bigger so as I grow and my team grows with me, these tools will help me to communicate better. Having the basic fundamentals can go a long way in this industry and it make it easier to work with other. Thank you for providing a platform for individuals like myself.!!!"
- Owner of K. Simmons Productions
Â
"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.
Â
"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. !!"
- Angelo
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."
- Richard
