Film school taught you craft. This course teaches you capital. 10 modules. Zero fluff. Everything you need to close.
You know how to make a film. You don’t know how to fund one. Crowdfunding exhaustion, investor ghosting, $12K legal quotes — the clock is ticking on your project and nobody taught you the financial side.
This self-paced course gives you the exact financial frameworks, deal structures, and investor communication strategies used by Act One Media to structure and close tax-advantaged film deals.
Why most filmmakers fail at fundraising — and what the funded ones do differently.
How to write with production and market viability in mind — so your script attracts capital, not just compliments.
Equity, tax credits, senior lending — how the three layers work together to fund your film.
Start with market data, work backwards. Build a budget that investors can verify.
Section 168(k), Section 181, state tax credits, and how tax-advantaged structures change the investor conversation.
What investors actually want to hear. The financial presentation, not the sizzle reel.
Reg D, PPM outlines, entity structure, chain of title — the legal foundation investors require.
How money flows back. Priority of payments, profit participation, and the numbers that close deals.
How to find investors, run the meeting, handle objections, and move from interest to commitment.
From term sheet to signed documents. The step-by-step process for getting to close.
