  1. Hello,

    My name is James Drake Coleman, an indie film maker from Austin Texas, and i’m writing you to consider covering my upcoming film “TAR: Some Origins of Evil”. The film is full of vivid imagery that’s driven by the darkened score that provides most of the exposition throughout. It follows Elliott Castor, and his secrets that are derived from trauma and PTSD. The film explores his triggers and causes of his PTSD.

    As we prepare for the film circuit, we’re trying to gain any momentum we can leading into it. Below is the link of the trailer we released to gain funding. The new, proper color graded trailer will be released in the coming weeks and we can share it with you at that time.

    Thank you for your consideration,

  2. I volunteer for the Calgary Stampede History Committee. I am Chinese. It is my personal project to research and produce a short documentary on Chinese Cow boy / Rancher in Western Canada.
    My initial research turned up empty for Alberta. I do get a couple of book stories and an article on Chinese CowBoys/Ranchers in B.C.
    Your help is very much appreciated.

  4. Hey there,
    You mentioned being a research nerd. I’m a singer-songwriter and actress delving into screenwriting with a feature script that involves the Toronto Mounted Police Division and I would love help researching, if you are game.

  5. Thank you for this most useful resource. I have shared it with Toronto Stand Up Community and they love it. Keep the updates coming

  6. Hello,
    I am looking for some assistance financing an indie documentary.I am exploring all avenues and thought I would start here.Thank you!

  7. Film Curators,

    I want to thank you for your invigorating passion to keeping motion picture art alive. Filmmaking is my life and though I’ve written and published 9 books along with hundreds of screenplays, and consider myself a writer before a performer (because without the words there is no story), I endlessly get the itch when I feel the creative spiritual drive within kicking me towards film. In my movies I write, direct, act in, do the cinematography, editing and produce all of my movies from the ground up, and even most recently in my newest feature (which is attached) I composed an original score and this is something I will now be doing for all of my films.

    Thank you for taking the time to view this email. I greatly appreciate it. I truly admire everything that you’ve built and I continually use the platforms of all the successful entrepreneurs (like yourselves) in which I humbly admire due to your courageous relentlessism. The artist builds from the ground up and is continuously destroyed and endlessly rebuilt and reshaped.

  8. Hi there! First off love the blog. My name is James Dilg. I’m a filmmaker based out of Los Angeles. I was contacting in regard to a short film/trailer submission! Last year (2019) we shot a short film in Great Falls, Montana called Perfectly Timed. The film comes out Friday April 10, 2020. We were wondering if you guys can post it on the blog? Below I’ve included the link to the trailer and the films instagram. Please let me know if this is possible! I’m more than happy to do anything in exchange! 

    Thanks best. James

  10. Hello my name is Anslem Douglas and I am a singer/songwriter best know for my grammy award winning song Who Let The Dogs Out. I have recently written a self published children’s book “The Adventures of Spin and Scratch”. I have big plans of seeing my book turned into an animated film but need funding to make this a reality. The book is out and is available in most online stores. If I could secure funding for this project I believe it has the potential to be a major hit with the kids. I do hope you’ll consider my request.
    Thanks in advance

  12. Good morning,

    I am a director/story creator for a Montreal-based Italian Web series called Gli Cumbare.
    I am currently in post-production for the final episode of season 2. We are a hardworking cast and crew looking for opportunity to expand and recognition via promotion. We have already had the opportunity to engage with the local newspaper in Montreal, Corriere Italiano in an interview. Moreover, we had the privilege of being interviewed in a national newspaper, Corriere Canadese.
    Gli Cumbare is a Montreal-based Italian web series that touches upon many aspects related to Italian cultural, traditional, and family values. The series represents a group of family and friends whose lives become uncannily intertwined as a result of the demise of Marilisa’s husband.
    The series is filmed in Italian and English. I feel it contributes to the authenticity of the Italian cultural flavour. I am looking to partner with a company who is willing to embark on this project and take it to its full potential. Thank you for your consideration.

  13. Would love to know some ins and outs for funding micro budget horror films in Ontario Canada.

  14. Thanks for the resources. greatly appreciated.

  15. Please send me the relevant information on how you can fund my innovative films, games and apps that will pay back millions of Dollars within a very short time!

  16. There is a known film production company in Canada that asked me if I can find a short-term bridge lending company that can furnish the client $20M loan. This loan will come with a quick exit by two banks in Canada and with Canadian tax credits. Both banks have closed on this client films in the past. I know that bridge financing is consider hard money, please let me ask, can you send me your lending criteria that includes timelines for funding and all fees required before funding. Thank you.

  17. Hi there, I was hoping to get a copy of the Canada cheat sheet for film grant writing.
    Thanks so much!

  22. Hello!
    I am a 20-year-old Filmmaker and currently, I am producing a BFA Thesis film at Emerson College, Boston. It’s a story about an engineer who must reassess her loyalties aboard Starship Oasis to realize the ship’s true mission. It’s a pretty ambitious set. We have already raised a fair amount for our project, but we are in need of more $1000-$1500 to be able to really execute our technical and creative vision. Any help or direction towards the right resources to help us out would be greatly appreciated!! Please, any support would mean the universe to us!! For more information about our project feel free to check out our Indiegogo Page: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/starship-oasis/x/26519520#/ My personal email address is anushahalwai24@gmail.com. Our Project email address is starshipoasis@gmail.com.

  23. I have a few feature length motion pictures completed and I am seeking distribution. Can you help?

  24. Whatever a noble person does, he does it not for himself, but for the whole of humanity.
    I want to gift my 3 years of hard work to nick sir and Priyanka ma”am. This is not just a script, it is a story that will give life to the dead. It will completely change the history of Hollywood. The character in this script is Jack Martin, I want this character to be played by Nick Jonas sir. This is the story of Amsterdam and Zhendera forest which will break down the thinking of the people.
    I have put my whole life at stake, don’t you ignore it. I have 100% hope that you would definitely like to meet me after 1 liner of my script. Why do I want to present to you my 3 years of hard work, this is the scariest secret of my life. Man cannot erase the pain, he can only live with pain, and that pain kills him every day.
    I am conveying this message to you from the zenith of my will.
    I wanted to give my script for free to a good director, who could bring it to the world. If you go ahead with this script, you can keep the money you get from it, but some of it will have to be donated to the nutritional children. This one will be our small part of humanity. email- samanthamartin472947@gmail.com

  25. I hope to have a discovery call to discuss our project and how we may be able to access funding

    Best regards

    John Hodgson
