So, I have written a screenplay for an indie that we have budgeted at about $300,000. We have an AMAZING cast (including two well known Soap Opera actors), a great director--and no money.

I'd use that experience / showbiz as a start as it seems you might know that world. If the cast is viable reach out to smaller distributors for a deal pending financing. Financing likes a distribution deal.
