Resources For Filmmakers
1. Tongal
Pitch your best ideas for video projects with noteworthy brands. If you’re a writer, that means submitting ideas, concepts, taglines, scripts, and more for brands and studios to expand on and turn into marketing campaigns. If you’re a filmmaker or animator, that means pitching creative briefs for the opportunity to be financed to produce video content. Learn more about Tongal here.
2. [NEW] [NEW] FilmStream Collective
This initiative empowers independent filmmakers with a $10,000 pledge to their live Kickstarter campaign, supporting the global sharing of their films. The fund is designed to support final or near-final projects, helping cover critical post-production costs such as editing, sound, marketing, and other finishing expenses. To be considered for the fund, creators must launch a Kickstarter campaign between now and August 31, 2025. The final film will then stream on Tubi, providing guaranteed distribution and visibility.
Deadline: August 31, 2025
