    3:00pm

    This workshop helps filmmakers select and refine a story for their film, focusing on key questions.

    Is the story worth dedicating years to? Does it have universal appeal? Who is the target audience? What is the filmmaker’s personal motivation? Participants will also determine the best format for their story and identify the main character’s role in driving the narrative.

    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.
