We're starting on production of a short film. This is our first one and I have no idea how to go about getting investors. I went indie gogo and that was a total failure. I was told to go to my audience. The film is about a mother and daughter meeting for the first time in 20 years. The drama deals w...

Hey Jacarris! I'm working on a indie project myself. I've had to come out of pocket. It was suggested to me to have fund raisers. Maybe have a dance or do your own film screen/contest etc.
Thanks..yea putting all this together has been costly. I figured id still have to come out of pocket tho
Yep! I've been working on my project for a over a year! It doesn't get better...you just get wiser.
If you need an actor who's looking to build his resume I work cheap. Thanks
Thanks I will keep you in mind!!

Thanks Joe! That's what my partner and I are thinking since we're not known. This short can be used as a promo tool.
I funded all of my shorts the same way Kevin Smith funded his first feature.
Bill, mate, I hope that worked out well for you.
P.S. the Proof of Concept, one-day shoot my company just did for our program was fully funded from my own, incredibly shallow, pocket.
