Securing funding for your documentary is a challenge for filmmakers at all stages in their career. Documentary filmmakers must embrace various and evolving strategies for securing revenue. But funding institutions can also be valued partners in the filmmaking process.
Betsy McLane, in discussion with Harry Gantz, director, and Devon Terrill, co-producer, of American Winter, Emily Verellen, Director of Programs and Communications, The Fledgling Fund, and Amy Halpin, Fiscal Sponsorship Program Director at the International Documentary Association, will explore the funding life-cycle for American Winter, including the filmmakers' success with grant funding, crowd funding, and family foundations.
Your RSVP grants you access to Doc U and Unclaimed only. If interested in attending WESTDOC as a paid delegate with access to all panels, parties, and Pitchfest, register at thewestdoc.com and use your IDA discount code IDA2013 to save 10% off the full ticket price.
