Solaris Finishing Fund for Independent Filmmakers

“Solaris created a “Finishing Fund” to support fellow indie filmmakers who seek the financial and technical resources necessary to complete their films. Greg and Gavin O’Connor originally created the Completion Partners as a response to their own efforts in trying to raise the capital to complete post-production for their film Tumbleweeds. In addition to financing the completion of these films, the Completion Partners Fund will offer the expertise necessary to help navigate the post-production waters, enabling filmmakers to get the film they envision to the market in the most effective way. They will be instrumental in the films’ promotion, festival strategy, and sales strategy.”
