Financing Your Next Film

What Investors Want to Know, and What You Need to Tell Them.

Louise Levison, author of “Filmmakers and Financing: Business Plans for Independents,” will take the mystique out of “What Investors Want to Know, and What You Need to Tell Them” in her talk on November 12th.  A highly respected financial consultant and specialist in the creation of film business plans for 27 years, Louise’s clients have raised money for low-budget films such as The Blair Witch Project, the most profitable independent film in history, and for companies raising as much as $300 million.  As the American Film Market ends the same day, her talk will include fresh  insights from that conference as well.

Louise Levison gives you easy- to-use steps for writing an investor-winning business plan for a feature film including:

• Comprehensive explanations for each of the eight sections of a plan
• Full financial section with text and tables
• Sample business plan
• Companion website with additional information for various chapters and detailed financial instructions
• Breaking the rules: how feature documentary, animated, and large format films differ
• Communicating with investors: who they are, pitching to them and the experiences of other indie filmmakers
