Finders are individuals who source finance for producers to get their film projects funded, but for the most part, they are rarely informed about the craft which they are being engaged. By this, I mean that most finders are not “full-time finders”, but merely seizing on an opportunity that they consider may make them a quick buck. Most finders usually have a full time job in finance, or are self employed in the film industry, and they happen to have made a few connections with some independent producers that need someone to find them money.
