Film Financing Today: How to Finance a Film Between $1MM-$3MM

With numerous financing options available and platforms for distribution, there's never been a better time for $3 million and under films from great new talent. With guidance from a producer and financier on over 45 films and television projects, you won't have to wait for a studio green light to bring your low-budget film to reality.

Is your desire for your script to be a commercial film holding you back from producing it yourself?

Are you overwhelmed by the thought of coming up with those big numbers and convinced only a big studio could bring your project to life?

Whether you're making an intimate character study or a high-concept comedy, there's no need to wait to produce your film.

Investors and producers avoid films in the $1 to $3 million range as these lower budgets are riskier, but the returns have the greatest rewards if you produce them correctly. In this exclusive Stage 32 on-demand webinar, you'll learn the optimal way to finance your $1 to $3 million film and make a profit by choosing the best project for the market, attaching great talent to build a package, and assembling a great business plan that attracts investors. You'll understand the financing, production, and distribution options available to low-budget films, how to secure and structure the various finance sources, and how to optimize distribution agreements.

Showing you the ropes is acclaimed producer Jeanette Milio, who has worked on over 45 film and television projects with major studios and producers, such as Netflix, Disney, Sony, Paramount, HBO, Showtime, and many more.

As a member of the Producer's Guild of America, Women in Film, and the Cannes Film Festival Producer's Network, Jeanette has deep industry knowledge for domestic and international markets at every budget level.

Praise for Jeanette's Previous Stage 32 Teaching:

"Jeanette has invaluable knowledge and made me feel like seeing my movie on the big screen was possible." -- Phillip F.

"This webinar is truly amazing and informative. Jeanette is such an expert!" -- Margaret M.

"She was very knowledgable, thorough and wise. The content was well organized and she explained things well. I learned a lot." --Heidi H.

"I finally learned the language of the banks. I had operated in lower budget arenas where 100% equity was the name of the game. As I move up in budget range, having a working knowledge of where the money comes from , when it comes, and what it is called (as well as what it costs) made this worthwhile. What I didn't learn (because time ran out) was the HOW." -- JK

"I've been trying to figure out how to make a low budget film and didn't realize how much I DIDN'T know until I took this course from Jeanette. Thank you for your wisdom and guidance." -- Zachary M.
