Each week tracks a module from Film Finance Fundamentals — but instead of learning alone, you build alongside Carmelo. Every framework gets applied to your project. Every template gets filled in for your deal. By Week 6, you walk out with a complete, investor-ready financing package for your feature film.
We assess your script, budget, team, and market position to identify your deal’s strengths and gaps.
Build the equity, tax credit, and lending layers specific to your project, state, and budget.
Create the pitch deck, financial model, and one-pager that investors and their CPAs want to see.
Entity structure, PPM outline, Reg D compliance, chain of title — the legal skeleton of your deal.
Carmelo reviews your complete deal package and provides direct feedback, just like a real investor would.
Roleplay and refine your investor pitch. Walk out ready to take your first meeting.
We keep cohorts small and curated so Carmelo can give real attention to every project. You apply. We review. If your project is at the right stage, you’re in.
Founding Cohort Pricing — Limited to First Two Cohorts

The Intensive is not just education — it is a pipeline. Throughout the program, participants receive strategic introductions to producers, sales agents, and service providers in Act One Media’s network. Graduates who demonstrate a well-structured, market-viable project may be considered for financing through Act One Media on a case-by-case basis. This is not a guarantee — it is a natural extension of the work. If you build a deal that meets institutional-grade standards during the program, Act One Media is positioned to evaluate it as a potential investment opportunity.
Financing consideration is at Act One Media’s sole discretion and subject to project viability, deal structure, and available capital. Enrollment does not guarantee financing.
