Tom Malloy – Funded Development Secrets

A Simple Step-by-Step System to Help Smart Indie Producers Raise Real Money—Starting With Development

Funding While You Raise Funds

If you’re serious about making a movie, you’ve probably already run into the biggest roadblock… How to get the money?

And if you’re like most filmmakers, you’ve been told to get a package together, find name talent, make a pitch deck, and somehow…magically…the investors will come.

Yeah. I believed that too. Until I actually looked back over all the movies I produced and realized something big.

The projects that got funded all had one thing in common—they nailed the development phase. With funding behind it.

This system shows you how to:

• Build early credibility (before you shoot a single frame)
• Get the right people involved early
• Actually start raising money—instead of waiting around for it
