Here’s where understanding basic sales and marketing will help your career in the long-run.
If your goal is to truly make the project you need to think like a salesperson.
Include all the information your dream collaborator would need to make a confident decision to work with you. How does it benefit them?

Nobody is going around offering their hard-earned money/gear/time to projects they don’t fully understand and believe in.
This is the importance of a pitch deck, and why it’s an industry standard. It gives the reader the first tangible impression of the look and feel of the film.

Take the time to put these together for each of your projects. It shows seriousness and understanding of the process of getting a film made.
