Task 3: ‘Meeting Ali Willis’ Financial Plan

Rough Budget Estimate: £25, 000

Markets: UK and North America

SBS Utopia: £12,500

Needed: £12,500

————————————————————————————————-

Studio Canal

£2,500

Studio Canal is the company that produced the film Bully (2001) and are therefore likely to gain revenue from the documentary.

Avon Books

£2,000

Avon Books is the company that published the book Bully: a True Story of High School Revenge (1998) and are therefore also likely to gain revenue from the documentary.

Sundance Documentary Fund (or Britdoc)

£8,000

I think the documentary is relevant to a UK and US audience (the former because it is from our perspective and the latter because it is about a US citizen). The Sundance Documentary Fund is dedicated to supporting international documentaries.

You could try Studio Canal, although it is a long time since the movie now, and they are more a distribution company than a funder of docs.

It would be very unusual for a book publisher to fund a film.

You could try Sundance, although you will need to carefully check whether the issues that you will be drawing out in this film make the film eligible for the fund which only puts money into films about human rights and social justice.

The BritDoc fund could be an option but you should try TV first.
