The most creative filmmakers are pioneering strategies to pitch funders and get paid with little more than a trailer, work-in-progress clips, and pitch deck.
Legendary distribution strategist, Peter Broderick and I cover Creative Fundraising essentials including:

- Hosting a fundraising virtual event with partners before your film is complete
- Pitching partners for funding during production then again during distribution
