NW Documentary Presents: The Big, Bad (Small) Budget
Posted 10/08/08The number-one challenge for indie filmmakers is not shooting, not editing, not directing...rather, it's hardship of securing funding. Most filmmakers have spent years honing their artistic craft. We'll help you learn the business side. Learn the down and dirty nuts and bolts of writing budgets for grant proposals, donors, and fiscal sponsorship. Bring your budget, bring your questions. This workshop will help you form the language, tone, and strategy surrounding a budget, and how to plan and map out a working budget for all stages of your production.

NW Documentary Presents: Film Fests: What to Know Before You Go
Posted 10/08/08If you've made (or are making) a film, you want to share it with a wide audience. You've heard of the "festival circuit" but what exactly does that mean, and what exactly do you need to know before submitting your first festival entry? We've spent the last year on the "festival circuit." We've screened at festivals in the US, Canada, and Europe, at major museums, movie theatres, and TV broadcast...and along the way, we've learned the pros, cons, ins and outs, of festival submissions, award entries, PR, screening contracts, DVD sales, international distribution, all the way down to placing posters and postcards. Save a lot of time and money by learning from the latest reporting from the daunting festival and distribution scene.
