“This class is super! Carole taught me more in these three hours than I’ve learned in any other on-line or webinar class. Actually, I didn’t know I had so much to learn! Now I know what I’ve got to do to be successful and have the confidence and tenacity to get it done.”


“How To Fund Your Film by Carole Lee Dean is one of the greatest educational films I have watched on film-funding. The film starts with a crash-course into manifesting and positive thinking, which is vital in a world full of procrastinators. The course is detailed and well-structured and as a newbie film producer, I’ve spent most of the film pausing it and taking notes. I recommend it to all directors and producers who are at the start of their careers and perceive funding as a scary path.”


“Carole Dean’s “How to Fund Your Film” is a wealth of information for filmmakers. Her guide is well organized, comprehensive, and encouraging. She shares invaluable insights, demystifies the fundraising process, and even recommends professionals to work with. So many artists struggle with fundraising and their projects never get made because they fall short in this arena. I would encourage them to watch Carole’s video and reach out to her- she is as caring as she is knowledgeable!”
