The Film Business Plan Template

Home | Why do I need a film business plan?

I raised $200,000 in cash and vendor freebies for two feature films using this film business plan

Including tons of super-expensive POST PRODUCTION FREEBIES like free post sound editing, sound mix, color correction, ADR, and more.

Yep. This exact movie business plan template was written from scratch recently to raise funds for two of my feature films.

THIS FILM BUSINESS PLAN RAISED $110,000 FOR A HOWLIN' GOOD WEREWOLF COMEDY

I used this film business plan to raise money for a feature-length werewolf comedy I wrote and directed. But get this - Instead of a man turning into a wolf, it's the story of a WOLF who turns into a MAN.

And hilarity ensues, as it always does.

We shot on the Sony F900 in full resolution HD, and had the full lighting, camera, grip package and a totally pro crew. The works.

If you'd like to check it out, hit up the producers on their website. I'm not listing the name of it on this page because I don't want Google to index the movie title and end up here instead of the site itself, but you can visit it here and watch the trailer and buy the dvd or whatever else you'd like.

It's a campy, bloody, gory fun little horror movie that we shot for around $110,000.

It's since gone to a ton of festivals, has sold VOD, DVD, cable, and tv in Germany and VOD, DVD, cable, tv, and THEATRICAL in Russia, and well on its way to selling other territories and in the states itself.

Movie 1 Poster

The film business plan template you're downloading is the same EXACT same one I used to raise cash for that film, and which I used to secure free post-production color correction, post-production sound, and tons more freebies on TOP of all the CASH INVESTMENTS we received.

These were investors that ran the gamut on our film. Some were savvy film investors, some were mom and pop investors who knew nothing about the film industry...

But ALL OF THEM were impressed by the film business plan we presented, which is the same EXACT document I'm offering you.

Movie 1

I spent WEEKS drawing up this document. The film business plan portion ALONE took me weeks of research, wrangling with producers over the proper terms we should use.

For example, we battled over questions like "SHOULD WE INCLUDE A 'WORST CASE SCENARIO' in the FINANCIAL SCENARIOS section?"

Stuff like that really made us THINK about how to best strike the balance between painting the investors the possibility of AN AWESOME MULTIMILLION DOLLAR SALE while painting them the also QUITE POSSIBLE CHANCE THAT THE FILM COULD DO VERY POORLY FINANCIALLY.

We wanted to be as honest as possible while still letting them know that we expected this film to hit it BIG TIME.

And that headache and mental work is largely DONE.

You just have to download the template, and pop in your details and get it into hands of your potential investors, then get it to 'em and knock their socks off.

Oh, and here's the Russian poster for my movie. I have no idea what those Russian distributors were thinking when they made this poster, but you gotta love 'em:

THIS PLAN ALSO RAISED $100,000 IN CASH AND FREEBIES FOR MY DRAMATIC FILM AS WELL

Movie 2

The other film which this exact film business plan helped raise money for was a drama/comedy that took place in an old folks home.

You can read about it here. (Again, I'm not listing the name here because I don't want Google to index it and when people search for it, end up on THIS site instead of the film's site.)

We shot the entire film in a creepy abandoned mental hospital in Southern California.

This film was one I co-wrote and produced. I didn't direct it.

As the producer in charge of getting the investment documents and film business plan together, I can tell you, this was no picnic writing this thing.

In fact, it was during this movie that I told myself I would never, ever waste away my life by writing another business plan again.

Movie 2

Nevertheless, this same exact plan I'm offering to you was used to raise money for THAT film as well.

All and all another $100,000 in cash, deferrals, and freebies in production and post-production such as sound mix, sound editing, and color.

All the investors on this one were mom and pop, but one was an ANGEL INVESTOR who put in one big lump sum to the tune of $20,000. THE NIGHT BEFORE WE STARTED SHOOTING.

She was blown away by the script, but even more blown away by our professional business plan and the detail to which the plan went to describe the process of how the film would be produced, finished, marketed, and distributed, and more importantly, HOW SHE WOULD MAKE HER MONEY BACK.

The film is currently making the festival rounds and may be heading for a domestic DVD deal very very soon.

Oh, and by the way, VENDORS YOU'RE TRYING TO GET FREEBIES FROM LOVE AN AWESOME FILM BUSINESS PLAN

I'll tell you from experience, my business plan convinced a lot of post houses and other vendors who were on the fence about donating their camera equipment, insurance discounts, rental cars, product placement, and crew food.

I can honestly look you in the eye and tell you that without this film business plan, we would've been sunk.

Not only that, but the plan actually made the rounds through our producer ranks, and was looked at by friends of the producers, and friends of producers, some of whom came aboard the film as investors, and some who just came aboard to help with their time, props, locations, whatever.

And we weren't even looking for them! They just happened to see biz plan, liked what they read, and wanted to be a part of our films. What I'm trying to tell you is that this sucker does A LOT OF THE WORK FOR YOU just by how professional and thorough it is. It's gonna make you look like a total PRO to investors.

ALRIGHT, YOU GET THE IDEA. I'M HITTING YOU OVER THE HEAD WITH THIS THING. But it's just because it really did work for me. In a BIG WAY!
