This season’s Business of Filmmaking Workshop series will be a comprehensive deep dive into the business aspects of making your short film, feature film, documentary, or TV pilot/series, providing you with resources to create an effective infrastructure in order for your project to succeed.
With industry expert instructors, including local PGA Producer, Marcie Gibboney, and independent producers, Nicole Docta and Jenny Mackenzie, this educational series consists of presentations, discussion, and workshopping your project.
This workshop will provide filmmakers with the next steps after your project has funding and is greenlit. Learn more about the processes and tasks during pre-production that will make your project a success, from finalizing your budget to getting insurance to hiring crew to scheduling shoots to working with departments. Bring your specific project needs and questions as we will spend time mapping out production plans for our films.
