Workshop Series: Getting Down to Business

Posted on by representmedia

Getting Down to Business

A 3-Part Series to help filmmakers develop practical business strategies to move their project forward.

Filmmakers Collaborative SF and Re-Present Media are presenting a three-workshop webinar series dedicated to helping emerging and mid-career filmmakers develop strategies for the producing and business side of independent films to ensure they are effectively moving their project forward.

Structured around the filmmaking process of development, production, and post-production, the workshops will cover producing strategies related to financial, legal, marketing, and other business topics required throughout the filmmaking process.

This is not a “how to” workshop series, but rather addresses the “why and what” behind developing practical strategies for integrating the business side of film to match the creative approach and goals of your project. Along with our presentation, we will provide case studies, guest speaker insights, and other resources to help you develop your strategies.

This series is ideal for emerging and mid-career filmmakers with a current film project.

  • Workshop 1) Development: Building the Foundation – Wed, March 20, 1:00–2:30pm PT
  • Workshop 2) Production: Moving Forward – Wed, April 24, 1:00–2:30pm PT
  • Workshop 3) Post-Production: Getting to the Finish Line – Wed, May 22, 1:00–2:30pm PT

You can register for the entire series or for individual workshops.

Cost: Free for Filmmakers Collaborative SF members. Sliding scale for non-members ($0-$25 for individual workshops or $0-$50 for the series).
