The Short Film Crowdfunding Playbook

Raise $5K–$35K+ for your short film without relying on friends and family.

✍🏻 You wrote the script. Now what?

You need a team and some money.

I’m Thomas Percy Kim – a Sundance and TIFF-winning filmmaker who ran 12+ successful crowdfunding campaigns, raising over $2.6M+ between shorts and features!

When I started, I had no industry connections, no rich uncle, no real personal network.

Campaign after campaign, I built a repeatable, scalable system to help filmmakers reliably raise funding without having to rely on their friends and family.

🎯 Who This Is For

You have:

• A short film script ready to produce
• A budget goal of $3K–$35K+
• Little to no crowdfunding experience (that's fine!)
• No massive following (also fine!)
• No network of wealthy friends to tap (most of us don't!)

You want:

• To make your film in the next few months
• To find producers + crew to help you raise
• To reach people beyond your immediate circle
• A repeatable system that scales over multiple projects
• To stop begging friends and family (we've all been there!)

🚨 Why Most Campaigns Fail

Most filmmakers treat crowdfunding like a "glorified GoFundMe"...

They post a few times on Instagram, hope that some wealthy shark will magically find their project, and if they're lucky, raise $2K-$5K before their campaign stalls.

That approach isn't scalable. You can only ask your mom so many times.

This playbook teaches you how to design a campaign that attracts supporters who don't know you yet – people who find your project through search, social sharing, platform discovery, and word-of-mouth beyond your immediate circle.

That's how you raise $15K, $20K, $35K+ without maxing out your personal network.
