Hi Stage32 community,
I am an independent producer working on my indie film project and I am actively seeking financing and fundraising opportunities. I am exploring different options including crowdfunding, equity investment, grants, and direct investor outreach but I would love to hear from others who have successfully navigated this process.
If you have experience or insights on how to secure funding as an independent producer please share any tips, strategies, or resources that could help me move forward. Whether it’s advice on creating effective pitch materials, finding the right investors, platforms worth using, or managing funding campaigns I am eager to learn.
Also if anyone is open to collaboration, networking, or sharing contacts in the film financing space I would appreciate the connection.
Thanks in advance for any support or guidance!
Best,
Maxim Iodice

Hi Maxim, Congratulations on working on your indie film project. I've found the key to film financing is professionalism in all manners. This includes a professional film budget, top notch film finance plan, and attractive pitch deck. Treating filmmaking like a business is critical. Investors certainly do. Good luck with your raise!

Maxim Iodice There’s currently an Ask Me Anything event happening in the Stage 32 Filmmaking Lounge, where director Kirstin Karlhuber is answering members questions about indie filmmaking. This may be a great topic to ask her about. You can comment your questions here:
