More and more film and TV projects are being privately funded outside of the studio system. Because the demand for film and TV has never been higher there are many opportunities for you to get private equity to fund your project and sell it to a buyer.  There is an art to the business of fundraising that is essential to understand if you are planning on raising money for your project.

How do you first approach an investor for your project? How long does it take for your relationship with your potential investor to develop into a business partnership? What financial projections and creative materials do you need to have already prepared to show them? And how can you ultimately close the deal? 

All these questions and more will be answered in this exclusive Stage 32 4 part on-demand class taught by multi–Emmy Award-winning filmmaker and best-selling author Shane Stanley. Shane is the founder of Visual Arts Entertainment, which produced the #1 Box Office hit, GRIDIRON GANG starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson for Sony Pictures.

Shane's new film, NIGHT TRAIN, that he directed, edited, and produced reached #1 on Hulu!

Over 4 information-packed sessions, Shane will teach you his secrets to raising money to help get your projects made and give you essential tips to maintain a lasting relationship with your investors.
