    Filmmakers are a special breed. You are talented in many ways; however, with so much to do, filmmaking can become overwhelming. That's why I wrote The Art of Film Funding: Alternative Financing Concepts now at Borders, Amazon and on this web site.

    I have mentored and helped many films and I know some of the pit falls and some of the short cuts to funding your film. I have found my information can be helpful when you are "stuck" or just want some guidance. Filmmaking, even though it is a collaborative job, can be extremely lonely and brainstorming with someone can get you back on track and bring in those dollars.

    Before we have our consultation, I read your proposal and see your trailer for a documentary or I read your outline and see your package for your feature so I fully understand your film. Once I read and review your materials we set a time and you call me in California for our consultation.

    I like it when you send me a list of things you want to discuss in the consultation. This helps you get clear on your current needs. Together we create a working plan for funding your film for the next few months. Most important is to see that you have created the foundation for your film. You need an award winning proposal and a money making pitch. If you don't have these, we can take your existing proposal or synopsis to a higher level.

    Working with pitches is something I love to do; your pitch is your greatest asset for funding your film. Funders can tell in 30 seconds if they like your film or not. I know, from my grant funding that if filmmakers don't grab my interest immediately then you lose me as a potential donor. Sometimes you only have 30 seconds to connect to the potential donor. Your pitch is that important to raising the mon
    ey.
    The Economist 2008, June 7th, states:
    Despite the credit crisis and a weakening economy, American companies still managed to increase their charitable donations last year, according to the Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy, an international forum which is co-chaired by Paul Newman. The median total given among the 155 companies surveyed by the committee was just over $26m, up by 5.6%on 2006 and representing around 1% of the pre-tax profits.

    If you are funding a short, feature or doc, funding opportunities abound. There is money everywhere. I work with all three generas. All of you will get your largest funding from people. Knowing where to find people and knowing how to approach them is paramount to success for any genera. We can cover this in your consultation. You create the agenda based on what you need at this time in production.
