Attracting Investors
BUSINESS PLANS: THE BEGINNER'S CRASH COURSE IN ATTRACTING INVESTORS TO YOUR FILM

For most, especially those who don't have a solid track record of making films that make money, or at least break even, a solid business plan is the number one way to attract investors to your film. This five-part series for beginners examines why a good business plan is oh so important...

Part 1: Raising Money Responsibly
Raising money responsibly can save you a whole lot of headaches, and can actually put you on the road to a career as a filmmaker a lot quicker. So in that respect it's not only ethical, it's imperative. . . . More
Part 2: Creating A Realistic Distribution Strategy
In simple terms, a distribution strategy is just what it sounds like -- it's a strategy to set your film up for eventual distribution. . . . More
Part 3: Realistic Sales Projections
I can tell you from first-hand experience, buyers are no longer willing to pay the inflated prices indies commanded in the 1990's. Many distributors went out of business paying high prices for independent films they never saw a return on. They will not do it and experienced film investors know this all too well. . . . More
Part 4: Setting A Strategy for Recouping Your Investor's Money Before They Invest
Why set a plan for recouping your investor's money before presenting your film for their consideration? Cause it makes it a very persuasive argument for investing in your film. And, from a business standpoint, it just makes sense. . . . More
Part 5: A Well-Conceived Business Plan
In the first installment I pointed out how so many business plans are filled with a whole lot of fluff. They may be well-written, they may look good, but they give no real substance, nothing the film investor really needs to decide whether or not to invest in your film. I've found a business plan with no real substance can become a filmmaker's worst enemy. . . . More
