Support

Our largest source of funding for filmmaking are the generous grants of individuals and arts & activism-minded non-profits & foundations. We rely on a fiscal-sponsor to process these donations and provide appropriate documentation to maximize tax-benefits.

We rely on crowdfunding-campaigns like Kickstarter to raise funds from individuals. These campaigns usually are “milestone” raises that enable us to bring a project across a specific goal line. We create rewards for these backers which range from streaming copies of a film to a full credit in the final film.

Two Birds maintains our own direct-distribution. We self-manage an OTT channel to enable direct streaming of rentals and sales. We also sell physical media (Blu-Rays & DVDs) with an online store and rely on a third-party logistics company for order fulfillment.

We sell exhibition-ready editions to Universities, K-12 and Public Libraries that convey limited rights to screen our films in classrooms and special events.

Jef & Laura maintain day jobs. Jef works for a specialty-logistics provider that he founded in 2000. Laura teaches film courses at a public university.
