The Funding Package Sprint
In 10 Days, Your Film Becomes Fundable.
We build your sponsor-ready funding package with you: positioning, pitch deck, 25-brand target list, outreach system. $2,500. Four films a month. That's it.
You could learn all of this yourself (that's the System, $297). Or the team behind Documentary411 builds it with you in 10 business days.
At a glance
What problem does it solve?
You need a credible sponsor-funding package, but building the positioning, deck, target list, and outreach system from scratch can take weeks.
What do you get?
A positioning session, 12-slide sponsor deck, 25-brand target list, four-email outreach sequence, revisions, and handoff support.
Why trust it?
Kerry works directly on every package and is still solving the funding challenge on independent films herself.
What we build with you
Five deliverables, done for you
- 60-minute positioning session with Kerry David (KDC and Films)
- Your 12-slide sponsor pitch deck, written and designed for you
- 25 brands matched to YOUR film, with rationale and who to contact
- Custom 4-email outreach sequence in your voice
- Up to two revision rounds + 30-day email support
$2,500
A $1,250 deposit is due after approval; the $1,250 balance is due on final delivery. All payments are final and non-refundable. We cap at 4 films/month because Kerry David works on every package.
The 10-day timeline
How the Sprint runs
| Day | Milestone |
|---|---|
| Day 0 | Application approved → 50% deposit → intake questionnaire |
| Days 1-2 | 60-min positioning call (Zoom) |
| Days 3-6 | We draft: positioning one-pager, 12-slide sponsor pitch deck, 25-brand custom target list with rationale + contact roles |
| Day 7 | Review call (30 min), followed by up to two revision rounds |
| Days 8-10 | Final delivery + customized 4-email outreach sequence + 30-min handoff call; balance due |
Payment: $1,250 deposit after approval / $1,250 on final delivery. All payments are final and non-refundable.
Scope: one film per sprint; 2 revision rounds max on the deck; we do not send outreach for you; 30 days of email Q&A post-delivery, then done. Reschedule up to twice.
The Honesty Box
What we guarantee: the deliverables, to spec, the package and the process.
What we don't guarantee: a sponsor. Funding outcomes are explicitly not guaranteed, in writing and in the contract. The film and the follow-through are yours.
