The best ways to raise money for a film.
Raising money for short films can be a big hurdle for filmmakers. After making a $25k short film, I got a lot of questions about how to finance a short film project, especially one with a larger budget. Here are 5 ways I've found funding for over 50 short films.
I forgot to mention one thing in the video - if you aren't in a rush to film your project, and have the patience to fill out a bunch of applications, applying to filmmaking grants can be a great way to raise money for a film (although I've never done it myself). Try searching for short film grants on Google to find one relevant to your project.

About me:
I've been making short films for 20 years, starting at age 11. I directed my first feature film, Bad is Bad, in 2010. Made for only $6,000, the film went on to reach over 7 million views and garner critical acclaim. More recently, my short film, Will "The Machine", screened and won awards at film festivals around the world. Released online in 2019, it reached over 1 million views in just a month. I also work as a video editor, cutting ads for clients such as Apple, Netflix, and Beats by Dre.
