My buddies and I have been brainstorming a very cool Documentary idea. The only problem is, we have no Idea how to get funding and get equipment. The story is about our hometown, a nice middle-upper class town with parents working all day long as the "rich and spoiled" kids go to school and do copious amounts of drugs. It reminds me of the movie "Traffic" a little bit, but that is exactly what has happened. We want to interview people from our town to see exactly why and how this mini epidemic has come to be. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Pitch it to producers in your area - or tv channels. If they like it, they will have the right contacts to get this going and will take care of funding. But you really need to do your research, have a clear vision and write a nice synopsis to present. Good luck!
Thank you! I will look into it.
Do you see it as a documentary film, or as a TV documentary special/miniseries, or as a docuseries (i.e. reality TV)? The approaches for all three are radically different. I have worked in both television development/sale and documentary films, so let me know if you are looking for guidance and advice, no strings attached.

Frankly we haven't thought of that. We just wanted to make it as awareness. We were first thinking of it being a short documentary film but it may thrive better with those outlets.

When finished let us know. Good luck. attn FINISHED CONTENT that needs distribution TV channel. No fees. Just share in the traffic flow. Better than youtube. Get rated by Neilson and be associated with dish network. www.UHETV.com will be launching soon and is seeking finished content: shorts, web series, cooking shows, comedy, stand up, DJ, reality shows, creative personality series, fashion behind the scenes, music and films. Be part of the new wave of filmmakers having success instead of waiting to get names for a network deals. put subject note: referral from Marylin to burris.shirley16@gmail.com Good luck. Quality content is needed.
