Before financing, we offer 1 on 1 mentorship and consultations in the following three areas to ensure that you are comfortable and prepared to take that next step.

Make sure that you spend enough time putting together a detailed and reasonable budget. If you plan to submit your short film to festivals such as the Sundance Film Festival you will also need to budget for related festival costs.  If you’re going to try to get funding for a short film, figure out how much money you’ll truly need. And as most filmmakers will tell you, try to cut costs in every single way you possibly can.

Take some time to research your funding options and how films similar to yours got funded. Equity financing, for example, means that investors will give you money in exchange for an ownership stake in the film. If you end up profiting from the film, you will owe a portion of those profits to your investors. You can also look into government funding if your country offers these types of programs. Another avenue is brand sponsorship, meaning that a company would provide funding in exchange for the display of their products in your film.

If you reach out to film investors, you’ll need to have an effective pitch for why they should get involved. Consider making a look-book or sizzle reel, focusing on what’s exciting about the project and not what pitfalls or risks you could run into later. A good sizzle reel can help investors really get a sense of what the project will be like. A visual example is worth 1000 words. It can also show financiers that you’re serious, professional, and dedicated to your short film.
