Camera Budget is almost gone and the project is getting real good. We're in the process of grants but any private investment and support would be awesome.
Here's the reel:

Also, when do you need continued funding for? More shooting, travel, post production, distribution, marketing?
Sorry, don't have any myself, but I've been through this process in certain ways. The more specific you can be the btter your chances are.
There are resources out there that can provide funding for certain things, i.e. post or marketing.

From the proposal, looks like you have your act together in terms of what will be needed for grant apps. I mean, it looks like a no-brainer for scaring up cash from GLBT (gay/lesbian/bi/trans) groups, churches, film orgs, etc.
If you're going to seek private funding or particularly "investing" you need a separate dec that outlines a line item budget and how the investing works. What, if anything, the investor will get back, and when. For exampe "All investors are paid their initial seeding money plus %15 interest before any producers are paid." Something like that. Also, how money is dealt with, does it go into escrow, etc etc.Looks like a very worthy piece, good luck!
- Thanks for the feedback - this is great information. We've not yet worked with private investors so it appears we need to get our shit together on a deeper level. Cheers!spookDD

The Quicktime movie looks like a thumbnail on my 60" LCD display.
Make the logo and the movie "bigger"

The topic doesn't interest me a bit, but the proposal needs a clear statement that tells what the money is needed for so that both individuals and the grands will be more willing to help -- we need it for the film is way too vague. Also the title sucks -- it the most generic title in the book -- so you will loose a shit load of potential audience just because of the fact that people will assume its a generically titled generic film.
- Got anything better for a title ? It's one of the tougher naming campaigns we've been through.
