Filmmaker Focus: Raising Finance Workshop

Saturday, April 22nd from 1:00pm-4:00pm with lunch included
This workshop will demystify the process of funding a low budget indie ($100-500k). You will learn how to create a package that investors won’t be able to say no to, as well as who to approach for finance and how to close the deal. Sharing her real life experience raising money for two of her feature films, Sundance award winning filmmaker Diane Bell teaches a self-starting method that is available to anyone, anywhere.
