Get your film financed by people who actually watch indie cinema.
Indie Planet partners with directors and producers to raise legally-compliant fractional film financing — from $200k shorts to $20M features. If you have a project, a team, and a deck, we'd like to see it.
What we look for
Completed script (feature or limited series), director attached, and a budget between $200k and $25M. Documentary, narrative, and hybrid all welcome.
At minimum: a director with a finished prior work (short, feature, or series) and a producer who has closed a film budget before. First-time directors with experienced producers are welcome.
We need to see a real budget — top-sheet at minimum, full schedule preferred. Indie Planet typically funds 15-40% of the cap stack alongside soft money, tax credits, and traditional equity.
Our backers are investors. They get a deck, a cap table, a quarterly update during production, and a real revenue statement after release. If that feels uncomfortable, this isn't the right home.
