FilmProposals gives independent filmmakers the real business tools it takes to get funded: investor-ready business plans, honest revenue projections, the legal documents that let you actually accept an investment, and a strategy for approaching investors without violating securities laws.
Pick the lane that matches where you are right now. Each one leads somewhere real.
Turn your idea into an investor-ready business plan foundation — guided, not generic.
Templates, tools, and strategy to build your film's business case yourself — or see if you're ready for the Sprint.
The paperwork that lets you legally accept an investment (PPM) and legally sell your finished film (Chain of Title).
Realistic comps and financial framing, so you're presenting upside investors will actually believe.
How to actually approach investors — starting with people you know — without spamming, begging, or violating securities laws.
24+ years. Thousands of filmmakers helped raise real money for real films. FilmProposals isn't a shortcut — it's the closest thing to having someone who's done this a thousand times sit down and build it with you.
I could not have raised this money or made this film without the materials you provided — and for $99? The bargain of my career.
Finished my deck on Friday. Got it into a few potential investors' hands over the weekend. By Monday, 3 out of 10 available memberships were spoken for at $160K each.
I've been able to raise over $400,000 so far for the film. I honestly don't think I would have been able to raise a dime without the detailed and professional deck.
If you're looking for a magic investor list or a template that thinks for you, this isn't it. If you're ready to treat your film like a business, keep going.
Hand-picked reads that will change how you think about film financing — before you waste time on the wrong approach.

Revenue ProjectionsTax incentives, grants, and pre-sales that reduce your equity ask — and how to present them in your business plan without overpromising.
SprintA guided path from scattered idea to investor-ready foundation. What's covered, what you'll produce, and who it's actually for.
