Cannes - I just attended a seminar on how independent film Producers can involve professional Financiers to fund their projects.Moral of the story: first of all you need a strong and complete script that persuades them, but at this point they bump you because you don't have a known Director.
Once you have the Director they refuse you because your budget can't be accurate if you don't have a deal with the Actors and the shooting dates.
When you have all of this they refuse you because they are interested in joining projects that need just the last 20% of the budget.
And when you find also the other 80% you need to talk to them they refuse you the financing because it is your first film.
But if I were them I'd refuse the financing also to an expert Producer, because if he's been able to overcome all this mess and still needs 20% of the budget he's telling a lot of lies.
