From Money to Market: Understanding Your Options for Fundraising & Distribution

Fundraising and distribution have never been more interwoven (and more interdependent) ecosystems than in today’s independent filmmaking universe. This seminar brings the film community together for shared learning and best practices related to private investors, crowdfunding, tax incentives, selling to new and emerging markets, and marketing the project at every stage of development. Presentations by those in the know—accompanied by case studies of active projects—will lay out the challenges and opportunities. Whether you have a project in mind or are already considering your options for a work-in-progress, this is a conversation and community-building moment you do not want to miss. Q&A will be extensive.

Presenters include attorney John Cones, producer Nick Maniatis, producers Gary and Anne Lundgren, Jon Betz and James-Michael Boyer of Collective Eye Films, Liz Cook Mowe of Kickstarter, and distribution strategist Mia Bruno.
