"Everyone I've approached for support for my project, both successful professionals in the film industry and out, consistently comment how impressed they are with my pitch deck, supporting investor documents (operating agreement, prospectus, business plan, proforma) and me. I would not have made this jump had she not made her over 20 years of film industry experience available to support me."

"Sara Elizabeth's course was exactly what I needed to get started on my project. I had never tried to raise money for a feature film from investors before, so I was a little intimidated at first. But talking to Sara Elizabeth and taking this course gave me a lot more confidence that this is actually possible. I loved the way she broke down how to find investors. I would highly recommend this course for anyone looking to find investors!"
