If you’re a filmmaker with a great story but you keep hitting the same wall - money - you’re not alone. The brutal part is this: it’s not that funding isn’t out there. It’s that most creators don’t know how to translate their creative vision into something investors can confidently support.

In this episode of the Indie Coach Podcast, I’m joined by returning guests Matthew Morris of Pinyon Pictures and Dr. Thomas Kingston of C-Suite Media. Together, we dig into the core issue: money isn’t just “a” problem… it’s often THE problem. And the solution isn’t hype, it’s clarity, positioning, and risk reduction.

This episode is for you if you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of:

building a deck,

pitching the same way everyone else pitches,

getting polite responses (or ghosted),

and wondering what you’re missing.

We talk about the real opportunity for the right projects - especially when institutional money is on the table, and what filmmakers must do to become investable: aligning with market demand, packaging with credibility, showing traction, and presenting a plan that makes sense to people who think in risk, returns, and execution.

You’re the hero. The funding wall is the villain. My job is to help you build a clearer plan, so you can move forward with confidence.
