How can I get money to shoot a low budget feature film?

This is the first feature film for my production company. We have very high hopes are are confident this film will go far. How can we get some extra money for the film? I need any and all suggestions as quickly as possible! Thank you!|||Most people in your position turn to credit cards. (Seriously!).





You might try to find someone who will give you an arts grant. Your state government probably has an arts granting council, and there may also be local arts support organizations. Many corporations also have arts grants (usually administered through their public relations departments). But unless the grant is especially designated for new artists, the odds are almost zero that you'll get one--they tend to like established, reliable artists for their money.





If you do go for a grant, the key is to read the grant application guidelines over and over and make certain your application meets every single point of those guidelines--in detail!





Now, the only other possibility would be to find private investors who would buy "shares" in your project. This is a situation where there are some legal issues, so consult with an attorney or at least a banker if your friends and family are kicking in $100 per share, to make certain you keep records and handle the cash legally.





(I had friends who invested in the film "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" starring Barbara Eden. Never heard of it? That must be why they never got their investments back!)|||if you can you ll be very lucky!! low budget means just that! usually everyone works for free with the hope of making some money when the film makes it big!!you will need to go to your local film council and see if there is anyone who can help ? Ive worked in the industry for 20 years and never seen any company just get given money without a lot of hard work and determination do you have a costume designer? i know of a good one !
