THIS WEEK! New Webinar Series: THE LONG AND SHORT(ER) ROAD TO FUNDING

Our next webinar series begins this Thursday, NOVEMBER 16!

Join us for our new webinar series! THE LONG AND SHORT(ER) ROAD TO FUNDING November 16 - December 14, 2023 Thursdays, 12 pm- 1:30 pm EST via Zoom   Are you curious about the financial secrets behind your favorite films now hitting theaters or broadcast? This four-part series takes a deep dive into the filmmakers' approaches to securing funds for production and impact campaigns. This series pops the hood and asks the tough questions of filmmakers who conquered grants and foundations, courageously raised funds through volunteers and social media, and pivoted and made adjustments as the moment called for it. The speakers in this series are first-time filmmakers who have been highly successful or experienced filmmakers who have significantly increased their funding.  We're exploring milestones that kept them going, smart budgeting that propelled them forward, and story development that directly impacted funding – in other words, the long (and at times shorter) roads to funding.   Sign up for the series and get four sessions for the price of three! Your discount is even greater if you are a WMM filmmaker ($75 $50) or a member of a partner organization ($75 $60).   REGISTER FOR THE SERIES NOW This four-part series includes: Attracting Government Grants and Foundations with Filmmaker Hazel Gurland-Pooler | Storming Caesars Palace  Thursday, Nov. 16th | 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm EST | Zoom Explore the steps to securing major financing from government grants and foundations, even as a first-time filmmaker.
