I'm currently producing a reality motorcycle travel series titled, FLYING HOGZ. A certain network looking for content has asked for a completed pilot and up to five more episodes. I'm ball parking each one at around $30 k and want to go after sponsors like Harley Davidson, Hotel chains, Airlines, Luggage, Motor clothes, Sunglasses/Goggles, Helmets, etc. What is the best way to approach them? Is there another avenue of raising the budget?
If I can raise enough just for the pilot episode alone, I think everything else will fall into place. To view one of the sizzle reels go to-- YouTube: FLYINGHOGz
THANK YOU!

Have you considered motorcycle blogs as a place to find your fans? $30k should be doable in crowd funding if you've got a crowd of 1k that believe in you that like $30 a pop.... Not saying you have to crowdfund. But social proof works on executives as well. If Harley Davidson knows that you have successfully raised this money from viewers in a few days they will also be more inclined to open their wallets.
