You're finally ready to bring your film to life and that means it’s time to find the right investors. But how do you present your project in a way that shows you’re not just creative, but credible? In this exclusive Stage 32 webinar, you’ll learn exactly how to package your project in a way that gets attention and earns trust. Whether you’re a first-time filmmaker or already have credits under your belt, we’ll show you how to create polished, professional materials that speak to what investors really want to see!

One of the biggest mistakes creatives make is assuming passion is enough. Investors need to understand your plan—and too many filmmakers show up to meetings without a clear strategy or well-organized materials. If your budget is confusing, your timeline is vague, or your sales plan isn’t convincing, you could lose the opportunity before the conversation even starts. We’ll walk you through what works, what doesn’t, and how to avoid common red flags that signal inexperience.

Your instructor, Emma Louise Smith, is a powerhouse producer, executive producer, and financier who brings decades of experience in international film finance and co-productions. With a background as an ACCA chartered accountant, Emma has advised Ultra High Net Worth Individuals on film investments and worked on dozens of features. She also serves on the International Advisory Board of the International Emerging Film Talent Association (IEFTA), where she mentors up-and-coming producers on finance and co-production. Emma knows what investors need to see—because she works with them every day.

You’ll gain the tools and knowledge to put your best foot forward. Emma will guide you through each element of a winning investor package—from finance plans and detailed budgets to timelines, sales strategies, and cast attachments. You’ll learn what to include, how to present it, and how to pitch with clarity and confidence. By the end, you’ll be equipped with a roadmap and a professional template to start securing the financing your project deserves!
