Congrats on taking the big step into directing and making your own stuff! Financing is always the toughest part, and I am still wondering what better options are out there. But I will say, it's worth doing a crowdfunding campaign at least once (maybe just once?), and I recommend Indiegogo because you don't have to hit your full goal to get funded, you can just use whatever you raise. It's amazing how generous people can be, and that added pressure to deliver for your "investors" helps raise your game even more!

Incredibly exciting to hear about your steps into directing!! Have you looked at moment.co ?

I’m thinking an opportunity to either recoup costs or put money towards your next project. Create a Moment Premiere, and have theatre times, have people buy tickets. Doesn’t mean that later you can’t put it out there for free but creating some buzz, that people only have specific times to watch this might help you push it. (Hope this makes sense, if not I can go in deeper)

Excited to see where you go in this journey. CONGRATZ!
