I am a director/screenwriter and I'm looking to finance my first feature film. I have won 50+ wins on the film festival circuit and been nominated 30+ more times for my scripts, documentaries, music videos and short films. Anyone looking to collaborate or knows of a financing source beyond crowdfunding let's talk!

Wow Amy. Congratulations. Good luck with the financing!
Thanks. The story is about how 19 years ago I suffered a bipolar breakdown and how through therapy, meds and the support of amazing caregivers I went on to become an award winning, bestselling author, blogger, screenwriter and filmmaker. And it tells this story through the prism of mine and my main caregiver's (co-writer/producer's) friendship.
Excellent. Is it a documentary or a feature?
A feature film adapted from my bestselling memoir of the same name.
Sounds like a great start. I wouldn't know the first thing about securing financing. How did you do it before?
All my films cost 1500 dollars or less. I want more for this one. I've kind of done the festival thing. So and since I know no one with what number I'm looking for or even 20 people at a large number to me small number to them kind of thing. I'm off to ICFF a film festival where I have help in the form of a faith based television network executive who's given me a streaming distribution deal w/revenue share where it goes into 22 million homes. And NAMI (National Alliance for the Mentally Ill) are partnering with me when the film is done and is going to publicize it.
