Five tips on how to make the most of your networking experience at Slated.

1. Track films you like

If you track someone, they can get in touch with you. If you are an investor, you can always ‘Get An Intro’ to a filmmaker through their film profile. That is your privilege. However, if you track a film you’re interested in, the filmmaker can get in touch with you too.

By tracking a film, you will also be alerted to any updates the filmmaker adds to their profile. For instance, if they secure a high-profile actor or add financing to their project, you will get notified.

2. Click ‘Get An Intro’ 

If you’re visit film profile page that you like, clicking Get An Intro is the first step in investing in a film and starting a dialogue with the filmmaker. All filmmakers are at a stage where they are ready to talk to investors. They will have more material to send you...simply reach out to them and start the dialogue. 

3. Check investment range and 'I'm Interest In' criteria

Make sure that you’re investment range and ‘I’m interested in’ criteria are accurate. At Slated, we don’t want to send you anything you won’t be interested in, so we only alert you to deals that match your criteria. The more accurate your profile is, the smarter we can be.

4. List films you invested in or been involved with

Top-quality filmmakers are attracted to experienced film investors. We know that the better the filmmaker, the more likely they are to work with you on a film if you have invested in, or been involved with, the industry before. So list some of the films you’ve helped produce or finance.

If you are new to the film industry, be open and honest when you reach out to a filmmaker. Tell them about your interest in the film, it’s subject matter, or the team behind it. Build a rapport as you may soon be working with some of the smartest filmmakers and talented story-tellers the film industry has to offer.
