I'm trying to raise money for a couple of short films as well, what I've discovered is it's a slow grind to get enough of a foothold to start making money.
I'm pretty dedicated though and working in that direction anyway. Have you lookedinto getting film friends involved?
Another place to look is If you join them (which takes some direction but worth it) they let you boost your post twice a day for another 40 to 60 cents.
