Movie Investor Toolkits & Bundles

The #1 Film Financing Tools


"FINANCING OUR FILM WAS SO EASY"
SAID NO FILMMAKER EVER!

But, as you already know, thousands of filmmakers HAVE successfully funded and made their films!

 What are their secrets? What if you could follow the guide and lessons put together by those filmmakers?

 Filmmaking is hard enough. Why start the funding cycle from zero when you can jump start it by learning from others’ successes?

What if you could start with a toolkit that already has feedback from over 500 Film Investors baked right in?

The EXACT toolkit James & Michael used...

"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 Sadwith, Producer, Writer, Director, Coming Through the Rye 

"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.

Melissa was amazing throughout the entire process. Always there to answer any questions. Couldn’t have done it without you guys. Can’t thank you enough. Best money I’ve ever spent."
- Michael F, Executive Producer, Inside Sportfishing (March 2021, Gold + Financials Bundle)

Proven Success Since 2002

Our filmmakers have used our toolkits with hundreds of investors around the globe. Our documents have been in the “room where it happens” with our successful filmmakers hundreds of times. The Movie Financing Toolkits have been used to raise funding from $50K to over $10M. Most importantly, we know every question, comment or hesitation film investors have when reading the presentations our filmmakers put together and we integrate them right back into our Financing Packages.

Up To Date

After EVERY meeting or contact, we modify our toolkits. We add the chart, answer the question, make something more clear… we do whatever it takes to integrate their feedback to help our filmmakers make the next pitch even better. We refine our templates every single time a film investor says something we think will improve our templates. We also constantly monitor the market and add new trends, data, statistics or anything else that will help you put YOUR film in the best position for funding.

"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 -- and for $99? The bargain of my career!"

Michael, Executive Producer

"Melissa, I was extremely hesitant in purchasing even your lowest priced package. It all sounded to good to be true and I just couldn't imagine getting anything worth while for the prices you were offering, but I pulled the trigger on your Gold + Financials Filmmaker Bundle.

It was the best money I've ever spent! Can't even begin to tell you what a difference it makes. So concise and on point. Makes putting the plan together so fluid and easy. Not having to worry about what to cover, only how to best state it for my film project. Amazing. Thank you so much. Worth every dollar! "

Michael, January 2021

"When I came across the Business Plan Tools and the Finance Guide, I felt like I could stop searching for the pot of gold...I’d found it. In one place, with clear, easy to follow materials and spreadsheets, my questions were answered."

Barry, Filmmaker

"I'm now sending out my completed business plan/film proposal document to potential investors and the one comment I'm getting back almost immediately is that it's so well laid out and professional. Believe me, first impressions really do count."

Kathleen

"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."

Film Financing is a Skill You Will Use for Your ENTIRE Career

Even the best of the best filmmakers will tell you Film Financing is TOUGH work and will ALWAYS be a part of your filmmaking career. Finding the money is challenging no matter how famous, successful and well-connected you are. The skill set of creative financing and surrounding yourself with the right team remains the same through any film career.



"Nobody would give us the money" - It took Martin Scorsese over 10 years to get financing for The Irishman ...that was with him, Pacino and De Niro attached, and before the CGI.  

"We willed that picture into happening. We didn't have any money to make it. When the financing goals came up millions of dollars short, Vallée cut costs by scrapping the entire grip department, a.k.a. the lights."
Matthew McConaughey, with director Jean-Marc Vallée, on Dallas Buyers Club  

"I fully expected halfway through to be abandoned and have to seek other financing. I never had to, though. It's a minor miracle."
Richard Linklater, on Boyhood  

"Two weeks before shooting we had to basically find our financing all over again...I think I aged about five years on that day."
Charlize Theron on Bombshell  

"It was very, very hard to get financing for Precious. All the studios said no. They didn’t want to make a film about a 350-pound black girl who is abused. Everybody kept saying no. My whole life was no. It was just a bunch of nos."
Lee Daniels


How to Fund a Film

There is no one way to finance a film. There is not even one financing process. Ask any 100 filmmakers how they got financing, and each will tell you a different story. The one thing they all have in common is they worked hard and pursued multiple financing resources. What most of them will tell you, is that private investors came last. They started with any number of the following sources, which provided them with a solid investment to present financiers. They used some combination of:

  • tax credits 
  • pre sales 
  • distribution deals 
  • profit participation 
  • product placement 
  • soft and hard money 
  • film grants 
  • private film investors 
  • studio financing 
  • location incentives
  • debt financing 
  • gap financing 
  • bridge loans 
  • donations 
  • crowdfunding 
  • slate financing 
  • deferred payment 
  • cross-promotion 
  • and much more

"Best money I ever spent! I'm now sending out my completed business plan/film proposal document to potential investors and the one comment I'm getting back almost immediately is that it's so well laid out and professional. Believe me, first impressions really do count. When someone sees that you take your business seriously, they're much more likely to take you and your projects seriously."
- Kathleen

"The resultant projections are what I needed, and the early feedback from the "suits" in this project is that I've presented a clear yet compact overview of the prospects. They were surprised it could be presented so concisely and without a complex MBA-style model. By the way, in my projections not all the outcomes are golden, and that adds to my respect for the templates."
- TV Producer, now Consultant

"When I came across the Business Plan Tools and Finance Guide, I felt like I could stop searching for the pot of gold ... I’d found it. In one place, with clear, easy to follow materials and spreadsheets, my questions were answered. It still depends on me and what I do, but the blueprint is all there. Thanks."

"Film proposals were a great help to ensure our pitch and proposal came across as professional. The templates provided and services offered enabled us to provide industry standard documents which are essential when approaching investors and industry professionals."

"A Financing Masterclass For a Fraction of the PriceFive 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."
