Alright, I would like to do a documentary the would span the outter regions of the United States, going through mostly major cities: Tampa, Tallahassee, Atlanta, New York City, Philedelphia, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Seattle, Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, Denver etc...

It will not only have an underlying subject, but also consist of our journey by road to all these places.  My marketing strategy for funds so far, is to offer companies national advertising via, Documentary, Documentary Web-site, Youtube Road Blog, fliers, and even advertisements on the vehicle we will be taking...

I`m not nessesarily looking to make a profit off this, more so, attempting to just recieve enough funds to make the trip, i feel it would be a once in a life time opportunity.

At first i thought to target social networking sites, because the internet can be found nation-wide.  Does anyone have any advice or help, that could aid me in finding funding for this trip.  I am estimating the costs at somewhere around 3k-5k for the trip and filming.  However i am not sure as to whether that is a realistic estimate...

Hi there, I think you will need to come up with a clearly defined value proposition if you want anybody to pitch in. What’s the purpose of your trip and what is it that you offer advertisers or sponsors in return for sharing some of your travel expenses.

So far, the only thing I got from your post is that you want to go on a trip and expect others to help share your travel expenses. Nice concept, but in reality very unlikely to work.
