the production also attracted philanthropic support by pitching at an event called "good pitch", hosted by the documentary australia foundation at the sydney opera house. in total, over $2 million was raised between seven different feature-length documentary film productions which pitched to an audience of approximately 300 on the day. "frackman" also partnered with getup! and lock the gate and was officially launched in march 2015, followed by a tour of new south wales, then screenings in western australia and victoria in april. distributor madman committed $10,000 towards "frackman" at the event and offered to work with eone to maximise home entertainment revenues. producer trish lake said of the fundraising at good pitch:“while some... goes to production, the majority will be spent on outreach — building audience interest and excitement ahead of the roll out early next year as it starts an innovative campaign across rural australia in cinemas and community halls and culminating in city theatres for city dwellers... it will be a roll out over many months with a dialogue we hope for whatever time it takes for state and federal governments to re-think their current deals with the global gas industry.”the film's financials and legals were managed by daniel (dan) lake, nephew of producer trish lake. dan lake was appointed as a director of production investment at screen queensland on 3 november 2014.
