FilmTies.com has launched the world's first online interactive membership based, social networking community that provides funding for film projects. FilmTies.com is a Web site that allows networking and project collaboration for filmmakers, screen writers, directors, producers, crew members, musicians and artists. FilmTies.com finances these projects through revenue from local and national ad sales.

The goal of FilmTies.com, by and through the AdFILMTies Patent Pending Film Finance model, is to distribute $100,000,000 in funding for independent film productions over the next three years.

"Movies are my passion and for many years I've dreamed of having my screen play brought to life. FilmTies.com has made available the resources essential to the success of my movie when no one else was willing to do so," stated Ryan Cavalline - 4th Floor Pictures "Besides that, FilmTies.com provided an environment that allowed us to become well acquainted with all individuals involved in our project which assured that everyone had the same passion for this project as I."

After founder John DeTitta witnessed the same trials that most amateur writers encounter, he began researching alternative resources and sought the advice of his peers. After doing so, he realized the potential of providing advertisers with the means to both reach their target audience and sponsor independent films using advertising dollars already figured into budget. In order to do so, he needed a media outlet that would allow for the impressions advertisers sought.

FilmTies.com is celebrating its launch with a contest for both high schools and colleges throughout the United States. The contest will provide students with the opportunity to not only raise money for their school but to also build their resumes and gain national recognition. In addition, FilmTies.com is working to provide other means to fund projects so that the number of projects chosen for funding each month can increase. To date, necessary steps are underway to create a film commission in every state throughout the U.S.
