I am in the process of trying to raise money for a documentary film project and was wondering if anyone knew of a format for a proposal such as this. It will be going to both governmental and private sources. I have found in attempting to prepare this that I am having a hard time not going into the entire story, which would go on for many pages delving into both style, content and narrative and visual approach. I feel that this might not be proper to submit to funding sources. Maybe I am wrong, and that is the way it is done, but I know that in the past when I have submitted successful grant proposals they have been relatively short. I just wonder if there is a recognized convention for this type of document. If this is not correct fodder for discussion on the list maybe someone would be kind enough to E-Mail me privately. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Mike Frankel [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask]
