WATCH: How To Get Your Indie Film Project Financed

There are numerous challenges that indie filmmakers face when trying to get their film from dream to reality. Such as, how to get that "green light," or series of green lights needed to get that indie project financed with distributors.

GreenSlate VP, Head of Content Chris C. Anderson sat down with Zhive Media Founder & CEO Mara McCann to chat about how indie filmmakers can do just that. 

What do they need?

WHO do they need?

Why it is important to lean into marketing and understand who the prospective audience is for the film?

And those things that Mara constantly sees indie filmmakers overlooking when it comes to budget setting. 

They also discussed why its important for the creatives to take care of their creative minds, why hearing "NO" is a learning opportunity, how to have a long, successful career as an indie filmmaker, and why Mara believes the glory days of indie filmmaking are right around the corner.
