[Review] Film Proposals was the Best Investment!

When I presented my project to my investor, they were blown away how prepared I was and rarely see filmmakers have half the documents I supplied. It showed I was serious as a filmmaker and as a business person. I purchased the Gold package with the PPM. The PPM took all the heavy lifting off and saved me so much money that would of cost me thousands from an attorney. The package got me prepared from business plan to financials. I did my research on my film and similar films and just plugged in the info. I had everything prepared and professionally done. On top of that, they offered a review after I followed the steps they gave me.

What is "Chain of Title" and How Does it Affect Your Film?

Having the correct Film Production Contracts in place on your film is crucial when investors, distributors, festivals and production companies are evaluating working with or investing in your project. You must make sure you own EVERYTHING that makes your film your film. In other words, you must have a clean "Chain of Title." Some examples include story & music rights, cast & crew images, graphics, the script, rights to on location shoots and much more. If any of these important legal contracts is missing, you cannot legally sell your film since you won't own all of it! Funders and distributors will expect you have these signed and if not, could hinder your ability to get distribution or signed investors. Most film festivals require all these agreements to ensure you can even enter your film with them.

How to Invest in Indie Films | Great Info For Your Film Business Plan

Investing in independent film is not only a good way to help improve the arts and shift spare cash into something worthwhile but you'll also get a buzz out of being a part of something really exciting.

To a great extent, the film industry has a small buffer against economic woes.

Do You Take Film Investors Seriously?

Here are examples of actual emails Filmproposals receives all time - about 10 per week (including the typos). Do any of these people sound like they take investors seriously? Are they making an offer? Do they value the time and money of the person they are contacting? Did they put any amount of time into understanding financing? Who wants to break out their check book after reading these? Would you even hit the reply button to bother with so much as "no thank you," never mind pick up the phone?

• "I have a great idea of movie and want to sell. Basically the idea is about vampires. Are you interested?"
• "i have superb script nd m really intrested to make a movie so plz help me finance"
• "i am a good actor and script writter looking for q producer to produce my movies"
• "i need two million dollars film finance to shoot film in London and Lagos(NIGERIA)"
• "I want to make a film about the drug abuse on our First Nation and hold nothing back I don't need much call me 506 xxx -0205 thank you"
• "How do I get investors like Angel to cone on board"
• "Hey Melissa, Thanks for accepting my invitation [on Linked In]. You betcha I'm looking for funding! How can you help? Stay Groovy, James"
• "I am asking for Two Million Dollars for funding a new movie based on a True Life Story. I expect to get over five hundred million dollars on movie Green Card. The main actress will be Priyanka Chopra Jonas."

This image is what a movie investment looks like. If you don't know this information, and can't recite it in your sleep, you have no business contacting anyone for money. This is what our Film Financing Bundles do - they take you from "I have a great idea..." to the above pitch deck.

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
• studio financing
• location incentives
• debt financing
• gap financing
• bridge loans
• donations
• crowdfunding
• slate financing
• deferred payment
• cross-promotion
• private film investors
• and much more

Our toolkit helps you bring all this together and shows you how much of your funding you can raise before you ever need an investor, if you need them at all!

Film Financing is not going to be easy. But Filmproposals Move Investor Presentation Packets will put you leaps and bounds ahead of your competition and make you look like the professional filmmaker you are!
