Raising Money and Finding Investors - N/A

Film financing has come a long way over the years, but many emerging filmmakers have no idea the wealth of options available to help them find the funds to bring their vision to life. It's easier than ever to make your film, thanks to technology. There are more platforms than ever to get your work seen. You just need to snag the last and most vital puzzle piece to get that money.

How many of your projects remain unmade because you didn't have the money?

How many of your ideas stay hidden because you don't know how to pitch them?

Do you know where to pitch?

It's time to see how the filmmakers that inspire you land the financing they need.

In this exclusive interactive Stage 32 course, you'll learn everything you need to find, pitch, and secure quality private equity investors from someone who has raised over $15 million in financing for several films.

"Finding leads for support for a project is one of the most intimidating and overwhelming parts of filmmaking. I was skeptical about Sara Elizabeth's affirmation that everyone could find 100 leads based on their existing network. About 20 minutes into her webinar, I found myself "eating my words." I'm thrilled to say that I was absolutely able to not just find my 100, but also have a plan for how to approach and talk to people about my film project."
