Funding

Film funding is crucial to filmmakers as without it the quality side of film cannot be achieved or the film itself cannot be created as it requires sponsors or funds to be able to fully create the story, to produce a film the necessities include hiring staff, equipment and costumes, sets and locations and transport.

Pre-sales

Pre-sales agreements are  executed contracts made with distributors before the film is produced. These agreements are based on the strength of the project's marketability and sales potential in its given territory. A distributor will generate a value for your project given the script, the attached talent, and crew, as well as the marketing approach.

Crowdfunding

Crowdfunding is a popular way of funding films because it allows fans to donate money in order to reached the desired goal to see the project in action. Popular crowdfunding sources include Kickstarter, IndieGoGo. In addition to donations, if a person donates a certain amount of money the get special rewards or offers specific to Kickstarter therefore the'll be more inclined or persuaded to.
