Making a movie can be seen as a encumbering process with many procedures, all of which start before even filming. During preproduction there is a lot of planning and preparation, this can take up to a couple years to complete. At this time the director works on the script with the screenwriter and other important figures associated with the movie, including the sound, music, photography, and design. One of the most important thing being done during this time is estimating the budget. Financing a movie can be arduous and is most challenging to independent filmmakers when they are unable to satisfy the budget that their movie demands. In order to be financed, many independent film makers are funded by producers or investors. This means that the product (movie) they aim to produce must standout and have a potential of making a profit to those that will be investing into its development. This is another challenging task if you are a woman or minority in the business without a reputation for making quality movies. A way that filmmakers can finance their product is to, again, make it look appealing to those that are investing. In the case of Gina Prince-Bythewood and the movie Beyond the Lights, to gain popularity and investors she made a short video portraying her main actress and her acting capabilities. This captured the eye of those willing to fund Gina's project, launching it into production.
