Has anyone here had success raising money via grants? I'm curious if that's a viable or common method. If you have received grant money, how did it factor into you getting your production fully funded?
Hi Tucker, for sure grants are an important consideration. They form part of the 'soft money' category within your finance plan. There are great resources available to search online for grants offering support - totally dependant upon the film (genre, short, doc, etc. etc.). Google is your best friend here. Having some funding shows potential investors that you're out making things happen, will give you resources to move the needle forward and perhaps resources in the way of advice or support from veterans. Why wouldn't you apply to grants? - thats the question I'll leave with you!
