About us
Working in Hollywood is unlike working anywhere else in the world, and this meetup meets frequently to help members get the skills they need. Most of our live events are free, and we have a deep library of past recorded workshops that will help you learn what you need to know on demand.
Media jobs in Hollywood usually last days, weeks, or months, not years. To thrive here in the entertainment industry, you need to be entrepreneurial, well-informed, collaborative, and financially savvy. You need to understand the economics of media and deal making.
If you are looking for lots of in-depth, practical, friendly events that dive deep into how you can engineer your success in one of the most competitive and fun industries on earth, this is the meetup for you.

https://www.filmmakersuccess.com/5dayfilmfundingchallenge-082026-What if the thing standing between you and your next $20,000 isn’t your film - it’s your funding strategy?
If you’re a filmmaker who has been waiting for a producer, investor, grant, or that elusive “right person” to come along and fund your project, this is worth checking out.
Joanne Butcher, the founder of Filmmaker Success, is hosting Learn How to Raise $20,000 Without Going Broke: The 5-Day Film Funding Challenge.
Joanne, the Film Vision Alchemist, is a film business/fundraising coach and Consulting Producer who has helped more than 150 independent filmmakers navigate the business of filmmaking - from fundraising and packaging to production and distribution. Her clients have successfully raised financing, produced their films, and moved 35 feature films into distribution.
And here’s what makes this challenge different:
It’s not about simply asking people for money.
Over five days, Joanne will help you look at your film as a fundable project and develop the strategy, tools, and action plan to move it forward.
You’ll work on:- Packaging your film so you’re ready for the right conversations
- Building a Funding strategy that goes beyond simply posting a campaign
- Strengthening your talent strategy to support your funding goals
- Learning how to approach potential funders and investors
- Creating a 90-day funding plan designed to help you pursue your first or next $20K
Whether you're starting from scratch or you've already tried fundraising and haven't gotten the results you wanted, this challenge can help you stop guessing and start taking strategic action.
You don't need to wait for someone to ride in on a white horse with the money.
You need a plan.### Join The 5-Day Film Funding Challenge
