Financing / Crowdfunding : Funding for Short Films and Dance Documentary by Paul Chantry

Funding for Short Films and Dance Documentary

Hello Everyone. Following the success of our recent short film at numerous US film festivals (including annual awards), myself and the team behind the film are planning our new adventures:

1. As a continuation to the short film, we are looking at creating 2 more short films inspired by the life and works of Walt Whitman.

2. A documentary that focuses on the lives of retiring ballet dancers in some of the world's major ballet companies

Alongside Crowdfunding and other online platform similiar to this, we are looking at alternative ways to fund these projects. Any advice woud be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!
