Do you have a great idea for a film or have a script ready with a story that just has to get told? Just like in everyday business, you’ll find that when there’s a good idea to be had, investors are at the ready. This goes for a great movie idea too. And like business investors, there are a number of options available for low budget film finance.
The best way to gain funding for your film idea is through the use of a film finance company. Not only do they help get your project off the ground, but they have a large range of industry experts and tools at the ready to help turn your screenplay into reality.
Film financing companies have helped many aspiring screenwriters to get their vision on the screen by providing low-budget film finance. However, it is important to keep in mind that a low-budget movie does not mean a compromise in quality or production. Low-budget or independent films are an important part of the cinematic landscape, and provide an important alternative from the major studio blockbuster movies.
It is often surprising to find how many low-budget films are successful, both financially and critically. Some of the greatest films made in the last twenty years can be classified as ‘low-budget’. Films like Reservoir Dogs or Chasing Amy defined a generation of filmmaking, and Australia has a terrific tradition of successful low-budget movies, including The Castle, Saw and Wolf Creek. Without people and companies willing to commit funding for low-budget films, all of these stories would have remained untold.
So if you have a great idea for a movie and need some funding to get started, talk with a film financing company and they’ll review your idea and tell you what needs to be done to secure investment for your idea.
