    The Los Angeles Grant Sponsors
    These companies and individuals contribute their time and resources for independent film and video producers out of the Los Angeles area for the Row W. Dean Grant programs.

    To Be A Sponsor

    From the Heart Productions began in 1993 with Otto Nemenz, Raleigh Studios, Howard Wexler, Alan Audio Works and many other donors who are still with us. These donors found our grants give them exposure to emerging filmmakers. These filmmakers greatly appreciate companies who donate their profits back and producers use our donor list as their beginning production list for services. They know from the web site, from Carole’s seminars and from her book “The Art of Film Funding: Alternative Financing Concepts” published by Michael Wiese Productions, which lists all of the donors to the film grant as donors-with-a-heart.

    If you would like to be a donor, please email Caroleedean@att.net for full information. You will find that your generosity will be returned ten fold.
