Let’s say for example that you attach a Producer to your film, either by building up value in your project like we discussed and then pitching to Producers, or by pursuing an existing personal relationship or contact. I had a client in this latter situation who through a personal contact was able to attach a Producing partner to her film, but he didn’t bring the financing. A bit of a conundrum which leads me to….
Even if you get a Producer attached to your film, how do you find financiers?(assuming you are going after some private equity as part of your overall finance plan)
This is a major question I get asked all the time, and for good reason. Where are all these elusive financiers hiding??
Well if you’re like my client and you don’t know any high net worth people personally, there’s a few ways to find private equity investors, but it still involves building some value in your project first (although presumably you’ve done some of that already by attaching your Producer with a track record…)
Once you have a Producer, you can attach a Director easier, which leads to being able to start attracting talent easier, which leads to getting interest from Sales Agents.
