Who Is This Course For?
If you understand film financing, how to pitch your film and how to generate money for your documentary, this course is not for you.
However, if you are baffled by the fundraising process and struggle to find funding for your film, the Funding Essentials for Your Documentary course is an eye-opening resource.
Do you want to get past the hurdle of raising money so that you can get on with making your film?
Imagine putting together a documentary pitch that helps you bring in tens of thousands of dollars (or MORE). Isn't it worth at least the same amount you'd pay a production assistant for one day's work if it helps you raise an extra $5,000, $75,000 or $1-million? Your small investment has easily paid for itself!
"I wanted to say you saved my filmmaking life. Your course is so easy and convenient to use. Thank you!" -- Carla S.

What Students Are Saying
"Blew Me Away"
"You blew me away with the concept that fundraising is not asking people for money, you are getting them to sign on to something they want to be a part of. Wow! If I only new that the last time I fundraised on Kickstarter!"
"Treasure trove"
"As a successful producer and fundraiser I felt I knew a lot - until I took this course. Wow! What a treasure trove of knowledge! Thank you Faith and all the great folks at Desktop Documentaries- I cannot believe how much information is in this course!"
"Most helpful tool"
"I am currently going through everything. And oh my Lanta, this course is the most helpful tool I have EVER come by! I am SO happy I came across it. Thank you for putting all the time and effort in creating this. You are helping hundreds if not thousands of people. I will be sure to promote this to all my other film friends!"
"Valuable Resources"
"So many valuable resources. I appreciated the encouraging tone of the course." (Producer, Feek's Vision Documentary)
"Very Helpful"
"Even with significant industry and development background, I gained valuable resources by taking this course."
"Many, many take-aways"
"As a former nonprofit executive director many of the points covered within the course were familiar to me. However, filtered through the lens of raising funds for a documentary (my first!) the ground covered was a comforting reminder of how to do this sort of thing. There were many, many take-aways."
"Dead on"
"I wish I had discovered this course before I produced my first flick. Your information on who donates and why is dead on. The goal for my next film is $100,000. When I'm done with your lessons, hopefully I will have more tools at my finger tips to get there."
"Extremely valuable"
"The structured approach, checklists and "downloadables" are all extremely valuable. At the end of the course, you come out with, essentially, a complete marketing plan."
"The structured approach, checklists and "downloadables" are all extremely valuable. At the end of the course, you come out with, essentially, a complete marketing plan." - Diane B.
