If you're interested in finding financing your film, you've got to start with a business plan which connects the creative process and the business side of filmmaking. In this workshop you will learn how to utilize tools and access the information needed to develop a business plan that can actually get your project funded. From packaging your project with "marketable" talent and "saleabe" producing and production partners to providing "realistic" financial data and comparables, you will leave this workshop armed with all the information you need to show an investor who you are, where you are going, and how you are going to get there.
