Many filmmakers dive into presales without the right foundation. Maybe you’ve built a deck that doesn’t resonate with financiers. Maybe you’ve attached dream talent that isn’t realistic—or you’re unsure how to approach an LOI or pay-or-play deal. You might have a great script but no understanding of what buyers in different territories are actually looking for, or how to meet sales agents at markets like AFM, EFM, or Cannes. These gaps can derail your film before it’s even pitched. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to avoid the common missteps that stop promising projects in their tracks and discover how to package your film in a way that investors and distributors take seriously.
In this webinar, you’ll break down how presales and debt financing actually work, learn which territories are buying, and explore how to structure a package that investors want to back. You’ll cover how to approach talent, build a deck that converts, and make the most of key film markets. Plus, you’ll receive a sample finance deck to use as a reference for your own projects. By the end of this webinar, you’ll walk away knowing exactly how to structure, package, and present your film for real-world financing success—ready to compete in today’s global marketplace.

Will this information also work for $5M films as that is where most of my films are?

Hi Joe! I’m almost finished with my script, and the visual style and vibe are a huge part of the project, which can be hard to convey through the script alone. I noticed there was only one slide for “artwork” in the pitch deck. Would including more concept art / artwork, and visual direction be helpful for attracting talent and securing a director/actors, and so on?
