What we look for

A real outlaw project, ready to move

Locked script (feature, limited series, or short), director attached, budget between $200k and $3M. Action, crime, westerns, espionage, martial arts, heists, vigilante stories — all welcome.

A team that can deliver

At minimum: a director with a finished prior work (short or feature) and a producer who has closed a budget before. First-time directors with seasoned genre producers are welcome.

A clear use of funds

Top-sheet budget at minimum, full schedule preferred. Planet Outlaw typically funds 25–60% of the cap stack alongside tax credits, soft money, and traditional equity.

Comfort with transparency

Our backers are investors. They get a deck, cap table, quarterly production update, and a real revenue statement. If radical transparency feels uncomfortable, this isn't the right home.

No algorithms. No black holes. No unpaid interns skimming loglines. When you submit to Planet Outlaw, your project is reviewed by our acquisitions team — actual humans who watch and finance genre films for a living. You'll get a response within 10 business days, even if it's a pass. We believe filmmakers deserve that respect.

"Planet Outlaw didn't just fund our western — they understood it. The campaign page they built looked like a million bucks, and we hit our target in 18 days. These people actually watch genre films."
