Hello everyone I am new to the site. Published 3 books and currently just completed my first script based off my second book "Where Art Thou Strength". I went to my first pitch and everyone loved the synopsis, even had a well-known Line Producer want to work with me. Only issue is finding funding for my project. Due to covid many of these grants and funding are closed. I am in a small city. upstate New York where we do not have much exposure to these amazing opportunities for grants. I am feeling kind of down guys.. Just came to the lounge to express my feelings of feeling backed in a corner right now.

You're not alone, so don't give up. Funding is always a hard road, at every level of production. Keep searching and you will find the next step to what you need.
Hang in there, Chastity. Covid is only a temporary obstacle. Keep believing in yourself and your projects.
Thanks guys for the kind words
