Most filmmakers apply to the same funders like ITVS, IDA, Sundance Documentary Fund, Gucci Tribeca. Only a handful get them. We’ll teach you to expand your fundraising to include non-film grants, funding from companies, crowdfunding, and much more.
Remember Blockbuster? And going to theaters? The ways films are released have changed. We’ll teach you new and powerful ways to release your film from virtual events and fundraisers, educational sales, virtual events, and more.
We’ve helped nearly 100 documentary filmmakers secure a national PBS broadcast and raise millions in sponsorships. We’ll teach you our pro tips to getting into your film into the PBS system and selling sponsorships for your broadcast.
Finding the right allies to support your film is the first step. Next you need to have the right tools to make a good impression. We’ll teach you how to identify partners, create a pitch deck, and reach out to secure the support you need.
Big streamers like Netflix and Hulu know what they are looking for and how much they’re willing to pay. We’ll reveal the truth about streamers. And we’ll also explore other powerful ways to make money with your film and get it seen.
“Virtual screenings enable me to reimagine how I connect with my audience. To date, we’re raised over $100,000 in sponsorship fees, ticket sales, and donations.”
“I learned more about funding and distributing my film in a single Show&Tell webinar than I did in months of research and web searching.”
“We’ve held over 60 virtual screenings for our short film supporting immigration causes, while generating over $45,000 to support our distribution.”
"The video guides and webinars are what I need to be successful in distribution and fundraising."
“Show&Tell is packed with invaluable information, tools, and expert advice to help you fundraise for your film.”
“Since my first virtual event, I’ve booked 37 more with partners ranging from universities to tech companies. I’ve raised $110,000 so far!”
