Mike and Sue take a close look at crafting a proposal that’s so convincing, it’ll have potential funders begging to get behind you and your documentary.
Filmmaking is a time consuming endeavour. While it might take someone less than 90 minutes to consume and fall in love with your film, it takes you and your team countless hours, many sleepless nights and endless shots of espresso to pull it all together.
From storyboarding your narrative to perfecting your script, securing talent and selecting locations and lets not to forget the actual filming and editing part! - let’s face it, a lot of blood, sweat and tears goes into making a movie.
However there is one part of the filmmaking process that can feel like it takes an eternity to create and get right. And it actually has very little to do with the overall look of your documentary feature film…but oh boy, can it make or break your production!
