Carole Dean has been a mentor, advisor, and all-around cheerleader for my film "The Weight of Honor"! We could not have done our documentary without From The Heart and the Roy W. Dean Grant!

From the moment I first discovered the Roy W.Dean Grant several years ago, I knew From The Heart Productions was unique. It is the only film funding organization I know of that offers invaluable, personal feedback to every filmmaker who applies, but this is just the beginning. The support that Carole Dean, President of From The Heart Productions, offers filmmakers through her grant programs, fiscal sponsorship, podcasts and groundbreaking book 'The Art of Film Funding' is simply phenomenal and life-changing. I cannot recommend this extremely valuable resource for independent filmmakers and their projects highly enough!

Fiscal film grants, Documentary film grants and film funding in made possible by great non profits like From the Heart Productions Inc. We really admire Carole Dean. She is such a classy, stylish and sophisticated lady. Carole Dean has honored her family and the entire movie industry by dedicating a big part of her life to 26 years of the Roy W. Dean Film Grant. From the Heart is a nonprofit foundation that seeks films that are unique and make a contribution to society.

Enough can not be said about her efforts in helping artist create documentary, feature, short films, and web series shows. Carole Dean is a true 5 Star Diamond.

I've known Carole Dean and From The Heart for over 10 years. Carol works tirelessly for her filmmakers. She is an extraordinary woman with experience in the film industry in many different areas. In addition to providing fiscal sponsorship, she also teaches classes, provides a grant and consults on projects and writes. From The Heart Productions should be the first choice when looking for fiscal sponsorship and film guidance.

Carole Dean and her team at From The Heart Productions do a phenomenal job managing the logistics of a Crowd funding campaign. Their attention to detail is precision sharp and their response to my requests have always been prompt. I highly recommend From The Heart Productions because they are also such a great resource and extremely generous when it comes to sharing their crowd funding tips and secrets. I currently have two projects with them and can't help but recommend them to my colleagues. Thank you Carole! xoxo

Carole Dean is one of a kind. She's present, generous and heartfelt–the kind of woman you want in your corner when you are writing and developing your independent film. Her book, The Art of Film Funding is a contemporary and relevant bible to get you on the path to making your film a living, breathing reality.
