Feature Film Funding

Brand sponsorship is when a company pays to shoot content during your production. They use your set and crew to capture content within your film’s world.

Corporate sponsorship is when a company supports a film because it aligns with its audience, values, industry, or public positioning.

Digital monetization generates income from your film through online platforms, including streaming, rentals, ads, and direct sales to audiences.

A negative pick-up deal secures a distributor’s commitment to buy your film once it is completed, allowing you to use that contract to raise financing before production.

A broadcast licence can fund part of your film before it is made. By securing a commitment from a broadcaster, you strengthen your financing and move the project forward.

Pre-sales and platform deals secure funding by selling distribution rights before the film is completed, providing upfront cash based on projected audience and market value.

Private investors fund a film by putting in cash upfront in exchange for a share of the revenues. This is used to complete the budget before guaranteed income is received.
