Once you have established yourself as a capable filmmaker, consider a career in craft.

Luckily for filmmakers, the business is like a chess game where every move has multiple purposes. The same skills that allow one to draw an audience, succeed with film festival entries, and even attract the best talent to collaborate will also allow you to raise the money to make your films. This workshop will look at the art of pitching ideas, raising money, and building excitement about your projects.
