Individual Indiefilm Business Plan Workshopping

Thanks to changes in Technology, anyone can make a film nearly anywhere.  Film Schools can be great at helping you learn how to do it, and there are film programs in every state across the US.  Unfortunately, even the best of them tend not to be great about teaching you to MAKE MONEY with films. If you don't live in Los Angeles, it's VERY difficult to get the information you need, even if you end up being able to make your film. 
With that in mind, I'm shifting gears from repeating workshops I've already done, and instead of recording the information and doing intensive workshops to help take your projects to the next level.  Here's what you get out of this workshop.
A prioritized list of where to get funding for your film.
The top 3 Sales agents to approach for YOUR PERSONAL PROJECT.
Answers to the questions every investor will ask you.
An incredibly strong and workshopped pitch for your project.
Outlines for EVERY major document you'll need (Look book, Deck, and business plans)
Individualized plans on where and how to approach investors.  
I'm pretty much done repeating workshops I've done before. I've done before, so in addition to what my time and individual attention for the 5 hours of this workshop you'll get 4 separate 5 hour-intensives as deep dives into the parts of producing that are not often taught in school.  Those are: Indiefilm Packaging Like a Pro: Film Financing FAST!, Mastering Movie Marketing, and Avoiding distribution Disaster.  
These are VITAL to your success as an indie filmmaker, and how to create a sustainable career from indiefilm.  Here's what those cover.
How to Find & Close Investors
What content Distributors will PAY FOR RIGHT NOW!
How to Find and Engage with your Audience so they'll BUY YOUR MOVIE.
