If you want to make a successful independent film, you're going to need 3 things. Distribution, Recognizable name talent, and money. If you want to get the money you need, you're going to need some documentation. Part of that will be an investment deck, and you might also be required to write a business plan. Don't know how? Don't worry, we got your back.
This event is a low-cost Seminar and Q&A with an executive producer with 14 films currently in distribution. In it we'll cover:
What goes in a look book
The Slides in a Deck
The sections in a business plan
How to make Financial Projections
How to make pro-forma financial statements
What needs to be in an executive summary
Who needs which document
How a Business Plan Becomes a PPM
Financial Services Rating
The basics of structuring a financial mix.
This event has scaled admission costs. The first 5 tickets are 5 dollars, the next 10 are 8 dollars, the following 20 are 10 dollars, and the remaining 5 are 15 dollars. Act fast if you want the lowest ticket price.
This workshop will be conducted both online and in person at the Ninth Street Independent Film Center. This event is for the In-Person Version. For the online version click below.
