For the independent filmmaker, having the money to make our
aspirations come true on the screen, most likely means finding a financer. Well, I came across this website called
Slated.com that matches filmmakers and investors. This could really be handy for a lot of
us. I am not saying that there are
investor just standing in line waiting to hand you money. You still have to dazzle someone. However, they have a lot of investors that
are willing to take a look at a well prepared package.
There is an investment community out there that exemplifies
millions of dollars. Now, not all of it
is ear marked for films, but some of the money is. Slated offers a wide range of individual’s,
film financiers or large financial institutions. So how Slated works is, your
profile is distributed to financiers looking for a film like yours. Slated uses technology to put your movies out
there to a responsive audience.
Let’s face it, us in the independent film industry done have
what they call a “bankable” name, so we are stuck building off the reputations
of others. There is a lot we need to do
when making a film, find talent, sales agent, industry support and lastly
distribution. Slated goes deeper then
just financing. They help get your film
notice by having “sales agents, packaging companies, talent, festival scouts,
to name a few.”
They go a step further, they review your project and will
“work with you to enhance the market suitability and industry prospects.” Slated uses it’s team to “keep investors and
the industry” apprised for your progress.
Sometimes it is hard to get your film the recognition it deserves until
you get that A-list actor or what not, so investors are notified and that may
be just what you need to get the investor you need.
