Planning: Financing my Short Film

My film has an extremely low budget, so funding will not be a huge issue. However certain  items require money: the costume, the makeup, the actor’s fee, as well as the hiring out of the theatre  in Shoebury. Having done some research, my film will be funded by BFI (formerly the UK Film Council) for they have agreed to funding a numerous amount of projects which include script development, film export and short films. In order to exhibit and advertise my film, I shall take advantage of the growth in social media and use Twitter and Facebook to market and create “a buzz” amongst my short film. I shall upload the Short Film to the Internet and make it available for anyone to watch for free, this is because this short film is not intended to create a large profit, it is meant to show a glimpse of humanity as well as showcase my film making abilities.

All profit will come from the DVD release. All money grossed from the film will go towards future funding of future films, made by myself.
