How to Successfully Fund an Independent Documentary
Abundant has been made possible by the generous donations of interested parties, organizations and businesses. Through donations and sponsorships, we have successfully funded the production of the film. As we close production, donations and sponsorships will enhance production value of the final cut of the film and expand our distribution and marketing budget. Distribution is where all goals for the project become aligned in trying to get as many viewers as possible. Your donations and sponsorships now contribute to this goal.
