 When it comes to funding for anything, it can be stressful, especially if you aren't too sure at how it will turn out or how to even do it. 

But, when it comes to film, funding and finances come through with a combination of investors, tax credits, grants, and other sources. Normally these funds should be secured-(Usually by the film producers and sales agents)- at the beginning of a motion pictures development, in order to pay for all the costs that accrue during the making of a film.

There are two main ways that funding for a film can be secured: Through a studio or Independently.

If you are looking for funds through a studio, they handle most of it, but only when a feature-length film is being made under the umbrella of a major film studio (also known as/called Hollywood film). This leads to the company producing the film, tasking them with the legwork to gather enough investors to fund the film.

But if you are looking into independent funding without the help of Hollywood film, than it is called and Indie film. This puts the legwork on the film's producers to secure financing for the project. Indie filmmakers use their own personal networks, tax credits, and grants to patch together funding for their film.
