delighted indie producer

Both the proposal for indies and the template for profit projections proved to be invaluable tools in putting together my proposal package for the film I am presently developing.

This Would Have Saved me $2,000. Absolutely Essential.
by: Seth, Los Angeles

Hi - Seth Hymes from Film School Secrets. I'm an NYU Film Grad and Independent Filmmaker. Several years ago I hired an attorney to help me draft a business plan and Private Placement Memorandum to raise money for a film project called "Breaking Balls". Using those documents I raised $30,000 from private investors. A friend recently referred me to filmproposals.com and I realized I could have saved myself $1,000-$2,000 in attorney fees by using this software! The information here is extremely valuable to an independent filmmaker looking to present themselves in a professional, compelling manner to potential investors. These kinds of documents do get results. And it offers information and training I didn't even get in a top film school. I only wish I had known about FilmProposals earlier!

by: Business Plan - Best money I ever spent!

I postponed writing my business plan because it was (in my mind) the hardest thing I would ever do. Procrastination was key here. That's when I saw the Film Financing Manual and Business Plan Template. Eureka! As it turned out, the business plan WAS the hardest thing I've ever done, but with the tools in the package, it made it much less stressful and the more I got into it, I thought to myself - YES!!! - thank god someone knows what they're doing...

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.

Best money I ever spent!

Incredibly Informative
by: Jane

I had no idea it was feasible to get a handle on film finance myself and was really inspired to see I don't have to be a writer hawking scripts until I die. I can actually make my film!

I was also inspired by how much information is out there to facilitate first-time film making, and how much FilmProposals is on top of this information.

Really useful Tool
by: Toby

I am an independent producer preparing projections for investors. I found your program one of the few available online that is actually useful, so I hope you are making a fortune with it.

Like a 6 week business course in a short Manual
by: Steve

Vastly exceeded my expectations for the price. I wish I'd found you before I started spending all that time looking for film info on the internet. You would have saved me dozens of hours (and I'm worth at least a dollar an hour, ha)! I actually think these products could be used for any type of business plan, not just film. There's a lot of film stuff in there, but the template could easily be used to write another type of biz plan.

Concise & Useful Tools
by: Leo Loh

I have produced commercials, documentaries and corporate videos but never Indie films. With only 19 pages including the cover, contents page etc., the manual is thinner than expected. On the other hand, the concise manual does deliver and provide all the necessary information, tools and resources I need to create my first film proposal with confidence. I am also grateful that they so graciously replaced without charge a previous version of the manual which I deleted by accident.

19 Pages - a Rip Off
by: Lori McCarthy

I just purchased your, Film Proposals Financing Manual Item# FPMan. And it is not what I was expecting at all. I want my money back. It says on your website, 7 day money back guarantee. Please... $29 for a 19 page manual what a rip off. Thank you for your help in this matter.

FilmProposals Response - Lori, we are happy to provide a refund (and have done so). We post these comments here to show we are not hiding anything, but that all feedback submitted is published. However, I'm not sure what else we can do - except make the Manual longer? Was there specific information missing? How can we make the manual better, besides making it longer? True business people like concise, factual documents - no FLUFF - and that is exactly the design of our Film Proposals and Financing Manual. We apologize if you thought another 100 pages would provide you more valuable information - based on our experience, that is not the way a Film Proposal works.
