The aim of your funding plan is to contact relevant organizations, manufacturers and companies that are related to your audience and location.
Read The Audience-First Film Funding Model to get a deeper understanding of how your audience has value.
How to Fund and Distribute Your Film
- Organizations agree to share and promote your film as your partners. They have large databases of members and contacts. This is your audience and distribution.
- Corporate Brands sponsor your film from example their social responsibility budget or shoot their own content on your set using your cast, crew and production.
- Product Placement pay to get exposure for their products to your audience and appear naturally in your film. If the suggestions you receive are not in your film, think of a local product type (not a global brand) that is an independent manufacturer.
Depending on your budget, example small budget, local results are your best bet. As your project grows with value, the more funders would want access to your audience.
Your Film > Organizations (Audience + Distribution) > Brands (Investment) > Product Placement (More Income)
