Stage 32 6 Part Advanced Film Finance Lab: How To Build A Film Finance Plan, Attract Investors & Pitch Your Project With Confidence

Your film doesn't have a financing problem. It has a knowledge problem. This fixes it.

6 weeks of hands-on film finance training with a producer who has overseen $250 million in production volume - and the credits to prove every word of it.

Only 10 spots available - 3 Spots Remain!

Most films never get made. Not because the idea wasn't good enough. Not because the talent wasn't there.

Because the producer didn't know how to structure the money.

Film finance is not magic. It's not luck. It's not about who you know — not entirely. It's a learnable, repeatable skill set that separates working producers from aspiring ones. And the producers who master it don't just get one film made. They build careers.

This lab is that education — delivered over 6 live weeks by one of the most experienced film finance executives working in the industry today.

By the time it ends, you won't just understand how film finance works. You'll have built your own financial plan, developed your investor pitch, and presented your business plan to Jeanette directly — with her feedback on your specific project, not hypothetical scenarios.

This is not a lecture series. It's a working lab. And there are 10 seats.

Your Stage 32 Educator Jeanette B. Milio has structured the financing on productions for Paramount, Sony, Lionsgate, Warner Bros., Netflix, Amazon, Apple TV+, HBO, Showtime, ABC/Disney, and National Geographic.

She has overseen more than 50 projects totaling over $250 million in production volume. She consults directly for Netflix and Amazon Studios on finance structuring and feasibility. She wrote the book on entertainment finance — literally. It's called Entertainment Finance Today and it's used across the industry.

She built this lab to give serious producers the exact education that separates the filmmakers who get their projects financed from the ones who don't.

Every producer who completes this lab leaves with:

• A complete, investor-ready financial plan for your project 
• A polished business plan pitch — presented to and reviewed by Jeanette 
• A working understanding of every major financing structure: equity, debt, mezzanine, subsidies, tax incentives, brand integration, co-productions, and more 
• A distribution strategy tailored to your specific project and market ✔ A risk-mitigation framework that gives investors the confidence to say yes 
• Direct email access to Jeanette throughout the entire lab 
• Session recordings in your Stage 32 library within 48 hours — forever 
• A private cohort lounge with your fellow filmmakers

PLUS — a complete document library you keep forever:

• Sample Business Plans 
• Sample Budgets 
• Sales Estimate Sheets 
• Investor Pitch Decks 
• Sales Agency Agreement 
• Collection Account Management Agreement (CAMA)
• Pay or Play Offer Template 
• Sample Option Agreement

You won’t be doing this alone. Throughout the lab, you’ll have direct access to Jeanette for questions, guidance, and support as you move your project forward. This interactive Stage 32 lab is held on Zoom and goes significantly deeper than a standard webinar. As soon as you sign up, you’ll be connected with Jeanette by email and sent a short questionnaire to help tailor the experience to your goals. If you can’t attend live sessions, all classes are recorded and available within 48 hours in your Stage 32 library. You’ll also join a dedicated lounge where you can connect with fellow creatives, share insights, and build your network along the way.

In addition, all classes will be recorded and will be yours forever. As a result, you do not have to be available live for all sessions.
