I’m working on a documentary right now, and I don’t want to give too much of the details out in public. We have access to some equipment through my alma mater, but we can’t have as much use as we need to get the footage necessary to complete this thing.
So… here goes. We either need an investor to come in to purchase a camera (we’ve been using a Panasonic DVX100A) or a generous person to loan us the money. These cameras hold their resale value, so one option would be that after the documentary is finished, we sell the camera if we are unable to sell the project itself.
Ideally, we need $3,000 to get the camera and some accessories for shooting. We could do it for $2,000 (there’s a camera on eBay right now for $1800 Buy-It-Now!), as getting the accessories on loan is a lot easier than getting the camera consistently.
There’s a time constraint on the project, which is why we don’t just save up and buy it in a month or two. We need someone to come in basically now (last week would’ve been nice 
) if we’re going to get this thing done in a way we can complete it and sell it (very marketable documentary).
So if you’re of the investing ilk… or just a generous soul who feels compelled to help out a couple of starving filmmakers… please contact me, and I will give you the full details of the project via private email communication (or a telephone call, if you want to send me your phone number).
Thanks for taking the time to read my shameless request for investment or loan
Edited: There’s also a couple of spiritual short films we’re looking at shooting, and that could be worked into the investment proposal as well. Points on those films in addition to the documentary.
