However, this does NOT need to be the case! There are steps that you can take with the investor who said \"no\" that can lead you to money for your film and we archer to show you how it's done. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eSo, what exactly do you do when you get the dreaded \"no\" from a potential investor?

So, it makes sense to approach them again with a new strategy. \u003cstrong\u003eThe strategic shift you need is simple and involves thinking as creatively on the business end as you have on the artistic end. When you are in this critical phase of raising money for your film, you are relationship building; you need to think about how you can reposition the deal, create partnerships, or potentially find \"soft costs\" to cut your budget to save money thus sweetening the deal. Working these types of angles with the potential investors who say \"no\" starts up fresh conversations and can lead to the success you're looking for. You’ll find that with the right tools and mindset at your disposal, the investor who initially told you \"no\" will become the perfect resource to help finance your film, expand your network, and get your film closer to a green light into production. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eTeaching you how to turn a “no” into actual financing for your film is producer and executive \u003cstrong style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003eSara Elizabeth Timmins\u003c\/strong\u003e,\u003cstrong\u003e founder of Life Out Loud Films.\u003c\/strong\u003e Sara Elizabeth has raised over $15MM for her own projects using the tactics she is sharing in her webinar.
