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.

Blogs provide companies accessible forums because they facilitate the free-flow of information and communications concerning topics ranging from company news to significant industry developments.

Today is the start of a new year and the beginning of my new Blog Spot where I shall attempt to enlighten, thrill, excite, engage and educate as many of you as possible to the trials and tribulations of the world of film and more specifically from time to time, Film Financing.
