Picture this: you have an idea to create a really unique story meant for the screen. You write a screenplay and after many many rewrites and critiques from peers you are finally ready to go into production. You have a crew, a cast, and even possible locations. Everything is going along swimmingly.
But before you can do this:
You first have to get plenty of this:
Money, like many things in life, is vitally important in bringing ideas to life. Short films are no exception. It is no surprise that any film you see on the big screen has at least a few financial backers. For most films, the financial backers are studios or people they have met through the film industry. But what if you're just starting out in the industry and don't know who to turn to? Then you create a campaign for anyone to donate to! The following are a list of films that are going into production in the next couple of months. They need your help to make their creative dreams a reality! Please check any or all of them out and feel free to donate to them!
