How to find finance? |
Of course, the business of content creation involves finance, and one of the most common questions we get asked at BNU is how to secure project finance for an animated film or TV series.
Film finance is never easy, but it can be done, if you follow the right steps.
The Business of Film Finance
Remember that making a great film isn't just about having a great story, and some great characters (though these things are very important). You - or your producing partner - need to be able to show that the investors in the film will be able to recoup their investment, and (ideally) make a decent profit. Soft money and tax credits will help, but in the end you need a proper business plan that plots the route to market success.
