Currently trying to get funding for a 30 min drama I have written and am producing. About dementia, abuse and family loyalties, I have my cast and crew in place and now trying to raise 4k.
Sharon Sinclair: Actor in Blackpool, United Kingdom.
I have applied for funding for my 30 min film and need to show that it will(should) make money. Does anyone know how I would find out approximately how much a TV/satellite channel would lease the rights for such a programme? Or has anyone gone down this route and can give me some indication? Thank you
Any Tips on My Crowdfunding Campaign?
I have less than 2 weeks left of my crowdfunding campaign and its doing abysmally. I tweak and update it every day, but still it`s not appealing enough to persuade people to contribute. If anyone has the time, please would you take a look and give me your opinions. Much appreciated https://www.kicks...

Pilot written - what next?
Have written a pilot script for a TV comedy/mock-umentary. What is the best way of getting this seen by the right people? Or do I need to copyright it? (I am in the UK)

Hi Phil, I`m pretty much where you are now, still trying to get funding - but ever hopeful
Rewrite it a few times. Get some input from friends and peers. Craft your series bible as well so you know your characters and where your series is headed.
Thanks all, some great advice.
Inspirational!
Thank you for reading
Great read. I`m just setting out producing my first film, tough but thrilling
Any Advice For Funding?
I have written and am producing a 30 minute film for festivals and currently have a kickstarter campaign - which is doing horribly. My film is being crewed by a professional team and we aim to highlight the emotional and psychological aspect of domestic violence and early Alzheimers - with 20% of an...

I too am a novice, but I have been lucky enough to secure a well known actor for the lead role, so hopefully we will gain more interest now

My new reel is to long. What should I cut?
Just made my new reel and it's to long and I think I know what I want to cut. But would like to get some unbiased opinions before I do so. Thanks!! https://youtu.be/IknNjU0a53E

Connor, you're a good actor, I really liked your performance. The reel is long, you could trim it a little by no showing so much of the other characters, specially in the last clip. But I like you're reel, you're good, congrats.

Hi I saw the two videos. I think that in the last version the first scene should start with you and you also could take out the last scene.
Template for Script Anyone?
Does anyone know where I can find a template for the script of a film? Its all over the place at the minute and doesnt look very professional. Thank you
Final Draft is great I use it all the time but go to BBC Script Writers Room and they have a template with good info.
I´ve used Celtx and my script turned into a mess. Fortunately, it was a copy. I´m very satisfied about the template of screenwritng one of my friends made. It´s very easy to work with.
I've used Celtx and the format was good until converted into PDF and then it became a mess!

Hi Everyone, I have been acting for many years - more than I care to remember - and recently I have written a 30 minute film which I am currently producing. It has been an eye opener seeing things from a different side of the table - as it were. From actor`s resumes to interviewing crew and scouting...

Thank you Talya. I think you just invented a new word!
Some great tips Craig. It's such an emotive subject and I would not want people that think that I was taking advantage of their grief to gather funding. I will certainly look into your suggestions though
There's a financing/crowdfunding lounge here that you could post in for funding advice.
