Job description

Feature Film Fundraiser

Hey there, 

The film market is flooded with passion projects. They're either bound for some festival or headed to a streaming platform with a low barrier to entry and have one thing in common: No plan for ROI.

Capital rushes toward projects that understand market viability, not artistic vision. Projects like ours.

We’re producing two Michigan-based feature films that combine gripping, high-concept narratives with a solid marketing strategy tailored for global, mass-market appeal, thanks to a diverse cast with demographics many can identify with.

We've developed comprehensive packages of tailored pitch decks and business plans that include budgets and marketplace analyses, and we're looking for a strategic fundraising partner. We aren't selling stories; we're selling assets. With my team's creative execution and your fundraising expertise, we can turn these scripts into profitable theatrical releases. Let's discuss how these projects fit within your portfolio, the competitive returns we've projected, and your compensation.

What time this week are you available for a brief, 10 min call?
