Documentary funding Canada

A funding source, "From The Heart Productions," provides development funding to documentary filmmakers in Canada who have a compelling story to tell, secure access to their story, and can shoot and edit a piece for production fundraising purposes. Their goal with Documentary Funding in Canada is to empower filmmakers to develop their film projects to the upgrade level where funding is difficult.

The Film and Video Money Directory

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Film & Video Money Directory

Not how to get money, but where to get money. 

  Dateline February 22, 2020

“Filmmakers are often told to sell everything they own to fund a film or Youtube video or music video. This book doesn’t tell you to sell anything. 

The film industry is a business and to survive it works as a business. Not a hobby addiction you sell your car to support.”

Deborah Hodgson spent a year compiling  the Film and Video Money Directory. “Filmmakers need three things. Money, teams, and contacts. There are over 500 books on how to get film funding, but none say where to find it. My research found hundreds of organizations that give filmmakers money, resources and referrals. Some grants pay $1,000,000 for one feature film. And you don’t have to pay the money back. Some causes will sponsor documentaries with use of their nonprofit status.”

Deborah is the founder and research director for GigsList.info. Publisher of the directory. Deborah's career spans 30 years in arts, entertainment,  and media in the USA, Australia, UK and Europe. “I’ve worked with hundreds of producers on live and recorded projects. I don’t remember any of them selling their car to produce a show.”

The Film and Video Money Directory is a resource tool box. It lists organizations that give grants, sponsorships, micro investments, residencies and scholarships. Plus extra lists of social media platforms, meetups and resources to recruit teams and industry contacts. 

For film, video, animation and television. Individuals, businesses, and nonprofits. 1,000 times faster than researching it yourself or trickle feed sites. Available in print and ebook. The Film and Video Money Directory is the 21st century's little black book for producers. 

Illustrated with a geek gallery of movie camera patent sketches. 

Get it on Amazon.com or Blurb.com today and support research that enables creativity on screen.
