Hi ,  We continuously monitor all the best sites, news, blogs and researchers and wanted to highlight a few articles we read recently that have real value:  There's nothing here we don't teach ourselves, and it's slightly more targeted to the studio system rather than independents, but you never know when you'll read that one thing that gives you the inspiration to move your project forward.  Also by Backstage (same as above article), some great quotes in here from producers, distributors and studios about what types of films they are looking for right now.  Great read. Very inspirational and practical. Two tips in particular stood out to us the most, but the whole article is worth the read. - Believe it Will Happen
No eye-rolling! You MUST believe that you can pull this off, you must believe that you can do it, even if the odds say different and even if other
people doubt it. Okay, so I know we have limits as humans, we all know that we can’t fly and we should not jump off a building because we believe we can. I am saying that as long as it is humanly possible, it CAN be achieved. I promise you, if you have the passion for the story/ concept/subject matter and you are willing to seriously bust your ass at it, it will happen. But it won’t happen by thinking about it, you must take action. - Prepare Yourself
Before you undertake any huge task
you need to be equipped with whatever tools that the job needs. Read/study the screenwriting books, read the trades, understand the industry, watch movies in your genre, learn all that you can about the subject matter so that when you are speaking to others about it, you are the expert, you are a professional (even if you’ve never made a dime in the industry) and you have done your homework.
TBH, this area is not our specialty. However, "Blockchain technology may emerge as a viable option for financing your next feature film," so of course, we are going to research it some more. Here's your head start if you want to beat us to it. Personally, we think the website should blockchain themselves to
prevent basic typos - not exactly a place we'd put our money.  - I would say find a story you’re passionate about that you want to tell.
- Work out the purpose of your film, is it to sell, make a short or just for you?
- Then plan how to shoot it
based on the purpose.
 For a bit more credit-worthiness, this Hollywood Reporter article discussing how current filmmakers are using NFTs to sell and/or raise financing for their movies (whether or not they get distributed) and
claiming "NFT-mania has officially seized the indie film industry"

"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

"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."
