Understanding Crowdfunding

Crowdfunding is an excellent, powerful tool to support fundraising for a film. Crowdfunding, however, is not a quick fix. “If you build it, they will come” does not work for crowdfunding, even for the most amazing project in the world. In order to Crowdfund, you need to first build your crowd.

Did you know that roughly 80% of Indiegogo and Kickstarter campaigns don’t reach their goal? From the Heart believes we can do better than this. Rather than letting you loose and hoping for the best, we actually will work to ensure that you crowdfund effectively and hit your goal. We ask for a minimum 2-3 months to work with you before launching a campaign. We will help you to grow your audience and plan an effective campaign, but it takes a lot of time an commitment for you and your team. Please take into account that outreach and strategizing for a crowdfunding campaign will take you about 160-200 work hours, divided between your team, family, friends, volunteers, and employees. You will need to achieve specific objectives in order for the campaign to be approved for launch. We want to work with filmmakers that are dedicated to seeing the campaign through to completion and will put their heart and soul into it. If you’re up for the challenge, we are here to support you.

We are not just another Crowdfunding company. We are your strategic partners in raising the funds you need to make your movie. Let’s do this together!

Fiscal film grants, Documentary film grants and film funding in made possible by great non profits like From the Heart Productions Inc. We really admire Carole Dean. She is such a classy, stylish and sophisticated lady. Carole Dean has honored her family and the entire movie industry by dedicating a big part of her life to 26 years of the Roy W. Dean Film Grant. From the Heart is a nonprofit foundation that seeks films that are unique and make a contribution to society. She offers so many avenues to the Film and Movie industry by opening doors through contacts, grants and a life time of experience in the industry.

Enough can not be said about her efforts in helping artist create documentary, feature, short films, and web series shows. Carole Dean is a true 5 Star Diamond.

As filmmakers, working with From The Heart Productions has been a real godsend. They've been hands-on in helping us see our feature-length documentary to fruition, providing important production resources, grant opportunities and fundraising mentorship. Carole Dean, the Founder and CEO of From The Heart Productions is a one-of-a-kind champion of filmmakers. Her wisdom, experience and generosity of spirit has been a gift for our production team to collaborate with. Luis Remesar & Beth Dolan Director/Producer of "Stranger At Home"

I've known Carole Dean and From The Heart for over 10 years. Carol works tirelessly for her filmmakers. She is an extraordinary woman with experience in the film industry in many different areas. In addition to providing fiscal sponsorship, she also teaches classes, provides a grant and consults on projects and writes. From The Heart Productions should be the first choice when looking for fiscal sponsorship and film guidance.

Margarita Sweet *****

An over 10 year relationship of wonderful films and some amazing filmmakers. The attention and dedication that's put into the grants process is considerable for a small organization. From The Heart always puts the filmmaker first

Carole Dean has been a mentor, advisor, and all-around cheerleader for my film "The Weight of Honor"! We could not have done our documentary without From The Heart and the Roy W. Dean Grant!
