SHE LOVES ME NOT #10 (in the hands of angels)

 My business plan has gone out to the three potential investors I've had in mind all along.  I'd say "now it's just a waiting game," but somehow that doesn't ring true.  It doesn't feel right.  I'm sensing the necessity to move on, to move forward - as if these first three tries are only the beginning.  I'm sensing this might take awhile.  This has always been the point where things come to a halt.  All this momentum, and then comes the quicksand of trying to obtain the financing.  I've done all I can - I think - in terms of developing the plan - all I can do now is to keep trying to get it into the hands of individuals or groups who are willing and able to finance the project.  It's the information age, and I sought more information regarding where one might possibly go to get money for an independent film.  I learned about people who call themselves "angel investors."  The term is self-explanatory.  Where else are you going to get money at this point aside from an angel?  These are people with an interesting mix of  money, faith, philanthropy, and gambling spirit who are able to afford a high-risk venture - people who will be (fingers crossed) willing to take a chance on my claim that I will deliver.  So that has become my present mission.  There are lots of sites on the internet that represent groups of angel investors as well as individuals.  So now it's just a matter of narrowing it down to the legitimate ones (no big shock, but there are some unscrupulous, "fallen" angels out there) and then presenting my project.
