Oktober 2007
Hello,
Most know me already, but I want and my Project (attached) briefly imagine.
With a similar (following) letter, I will s.den Förderkreis directed our school, the letter I can only submit after the holidays. As far as I know, but whose resources are severely limited synonymous.
Maybe you have an idea yes, s.wen can I contact. I would be happy to send synonymous CV and a demo DVD by mail.
So I'm looking for both funding agencies for young people, as synonymous other sponsors (eg cinemas with funding).
I have great concerns for film foundations, because I do not have the opportunities, a professional marketing plans and extrapolation indicated.
I am pleased with all the ideas and tips!
-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
My name is Constantin Müller, I'm 17 years old and currently attend the 12th Class of the gymnasium at St. Catherine's, Oppenheim.
Through the placement of light and sound technician for the theater-AG (Peter Grosz), I soon my interest in this area recognized. But besides the light and sound I was interested, especially for the "Picture" and graphic design. The large area of the film manages to cover all of these my interests.
I am now since about 4 years with "film" in the last few years, I have Pro7, Sat1, and twice in the ZDF placements made and am excited about how much you are elected colors, images and sounds can create emotional .
Since mid-August, I work s.einer "Special learning" (hereafter BLL) in Latin relating to Vesuvausbruch (supervising teacher Mrs. Greve, Department of Latin and German)
The aim of the BLL is s.Ende an approximately 15 - to 20-minute exclusive Latin (with German subtitles) short film on DVD to be able to present, which is a mixture of fiction and reality and interviews with experts, a presentation of the BLL and excerpts from the Making Off contains. Therefore, in addition to historical backgrounds (often Latin sources), synonymous smallest details such as hairstyle, clothes, daily routines etc. of the Romans 79 AD to be researched. To realize is to me an entire year.
I will be accompanied with my low-budget production of an experienced special effects and computer animation artist, a Tonfachmann and studio owners, experts on the Vesuvausbruch and ancient Rome (as the interviewer), a graphic designer and a print company (on the company of my mother), of actors, set design and props, 30 extras, other volunteers and crew members for transportation and construction, as well as teachers. All of these helpers to work completely voluntarily, without any merit.
At a professional camera, sound and lighting, we have everything we need, free of charge.
But now we realize that we are with a small budget s.Grenzen encounter, we must break through to the most faithful film to get. We need financial support / sponsorship of the project, for example:
(-Rent for about 3 hours outside of the film studios in Babelsberg)
Route-cost, possibly catering for (a few) actors / extras
Materials for props and set design
Art blood, fog fluid, gasoline for power unit
Entrance fees to museums
DVD, printing, advertising
etc.
An approximate total amount could be estimated to ¬ 450 total, I would like now but still no final budget call, which we need for their production.
Without financial support we would be the realization of many scenes not possible.

Many greetings,

You should be the recipients in your cover letter specifically informed them of what you expect / hope / ask. You just say, you lack money. Leave it to the fact that "your donation you will help your work properly to see that the Project can only succeed." Offer them as a contribution to their Ufirmennamen credits as a sponsor to name. What happens then with the film? Could make a documentary to be broadcast? Locke your prospective sponsors, who want to see a benefit if they give you money.
Answer by Blackeagle123:
Hi Andy,
first thank for your help. Obviously I have the letter s.die entsprechenenden persons other formulations taken and made it clear that I, without financial support the project can not implement.
The question is rather, s.wen I can turn the letter. From whom can I hope for help? To whom this your writing?
At large companies? At banks? At companies such as "Panasonic"?
Which funding agencies aware of their (school is located in Rhineland-Palatinate)?
I would reluctantly money in a clever budget plan to invest, then (without view) s.eine film funding to go.
My problem: I do not know what options I have, as a 17 year old students - ie, without film training (internships only) - s.finanzielle funds to come.
The broadcast on television is again another very big question. In the first place is only once the BLL that a large part of my school is also s.einem Competition I would like to participate and to work for a forthcoming film school application s.einer use. (Also, depending on whether only Royalty titles were used)
Send to a broadcast on TV, I have not yet thought of, but we may be at our shooting of a television team for PUR plus or logo! support.
Many greetings,
Constantin

Hi Constantin,
I have just as little experience as you at the point of view. Since you are but a specific theme and did so synonymous have extensive research ... maybe you can find businesses or agencies that are also directly or indirectly with this issue / this branch for a company and named in the making-of, or credits, a euro or jump would be. If it is actually only the approximately 450 euros, which you mentioned, it can not be quite so hard. Or missing since a "0" s.Ende the number?
Italy Tourist Association? Perhaps even the interest s.fertigen product? Is now perhaps a little far-fetched ...
