Both. Sorry... :)
Haha, Can you elaborate on why not?
The website is about "financial advisory" and ranking "financial advisory firms." A Financial Advisor is someone who gives advice and guidance to you about your money matters for which you have to pay. That sounds a lot like having nothing to do with funding or producing a movie. When I looked for 3 words - movie, film, cinema - there were none. ZERO. Ergo... No way.
That makes sense. I found a couple of private investors who have a track record of investing in film, but you're right they aren't specifically just film investors. Our 2nd in investor is in the private sector (rich as crap apparently) so it's not unusual. I was just wondering if the site was worth a try. Sounds like not! Thank you so much!

Speaking of investors, Ms. Colette, can you help me find an investor/ to make a new type of lens for filmmakers? It's a vignette lens but some people prefer the term "peephole" lens.
You guys have all been super helpful. I think the investor.com site reminds me a bit of Slated as in you can find people you need for your project (except Slated is entertainment centered), however, Slated is free up front (backend fees can apply if your project gets made through them). A lot of the investor profiles I tried to research based on their investor.com profiles seemed out of date when viewing against their linkedin.
Yes, the one 2nd-in investor comes through my casting director and he's been...um...interesting to work with, but if we find the 1st commitment, he'll be easier to pin down. But that's the problem, no one wants to be 1st in.
Soooo in my head I keep singing the very applicable song "Keep trying, keep trying, don't give up, never give up" (from Yo Gabba Gabba lol).
OK, will do.
