They include, state tax incentives and grants (soft money), donations-based crowdfunding, equity crowdfunding, debt, private equity and pre-sales financing. There are a number of strategies to use to finance a movie. Which strategy the filmmaker uses to access funding will depend on the type of film, the story or subject matter, the budget, genre, the filmmaker’s reputation, the talent attached and the amount of creative control the filmmaker wants over the production. Without the proper funding, a feature film never gets made or made the way the filmmaker wants to. How an independent filmmaker chooses to make a movie is often dictated by access to money more than any aesthetic sensibilities.
