That was one of the better articles about fund raising that I have read. Good Post Andrew!

Thanks, I found it pretty fascinating.

Great article! Thank you. I have a few questions for you. When you say package, do you mean logline, premise, 1 - 2 page synopsis, beat sheet, 1st ten pages of script and treatment? And I don't know where to begin looking for "various film financing companies, private investors, and grant programs" besides google. Is there a site that would make my research easier? Thanks again for posting Andrew.

I would recommend going to LinkedIn. They have a lot of good ways to find good contacts for business purposes. I found one that way. I didn't write the article though I appreciate the thanks.

What a great idea, Colette "ByFilms" Byfield! What a great idea, mining for resources in old posts - you're the best!

Good article but it does leave me some questions though and the main one would e how do you get a talent interested in the project? What kind of package do you send them via their manager or PR person? Just the script? Pitch deck? both?
