I will prepare the funding research and prepare the materials you need to approach potential funders for your film.
You contact the funders directly, so all replies, discussions and relationships stay between you and the organizations, brands or funding partners you approach.
What You Receive
- Research into relevant potential funders for your film
- Available contact details and email addresses
- A professional Film Proposal in PDF
- Personalized outreach emails that include your pitch
- A practical working list of prospects in spreadsheet or CSV format where appropriate
I organize everything so that you can contact potential funders yourself and receive any responses directly in your own email inbox.
Initial Review and Conversation
The process starts with a $300 project review and private consultation.
This covers my review of your film, preparation for the consultation and a 30-minute private WhatsApp call.
After payment, you will log in to FilmDaily.tv and add your film details, including your synopsis, team, location, development stage, estimated budget, funding already secured and what you are currently looking for.
I will review your film before our WhatsApp consultation so we can discuss your project and the funding directions worth pursuing.
How the Service Works
- Stage 1 - $300: Project review and 30-minute private WhatsApp consultation.
- Stage 2 - $700: Detailed funding research, professional Film Proposal and personalized outreach materials.
Total cost for the complete service: $1,000.
Stage 2 is optional. You only pay the additional $700 if you decide to continue after the consultation.

Who is this for?
This service is for filmmakers who need experienced guidance or do not have the time to research potential funders and prepare the funding approach themselves.
It is particularly suited to short films, documentaries and independently financed feature films.
For films with budgets of $10 million or more, areas such as pre-sales, minimum guarantees and broadcast deals usually require significant cast, director, producer or other attachments.
Detailed Funding Research
Depending on your project, the research can include grants, organizations connected to the subject or audience, corporate sponsorship, brand partnerships, product placement, production support and government or regional funding.
- Film grants
- Organizations connected to the subject or audience
- Corporate sponsorship
- Brand partnerships
- Product placement
- Production support
- Government and regional funding
- Other potential funding partners
- Available email addresses and contact details
You Receive:
- Organized funding leads into a practical spreadsheet so that you can contact the prospects directly.
- Prepared outreach emails.
- Your professional Film Proposal in PDF
I do not contact funders on your behalf, negotiate deals or guarantee that your film will receive funding.
See the Summary Before Delivery
When the work is complete, I will send you a summary of what has been prepared for your film. If you decide to proceed, you will receive an invoice for the remaining $700.
Once payment is received, the completed research, Film Proposal and outreach materials will be made available to you.
You can then begin contacting the potential funders directly from your own email account.
Any additional work beyond these two stages is not included and would be discussed and priced separately before any further work begins.
