Preparing for Post: Ensuring Your Film Doesn't DIE in Post Production
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Most filmmakers know that if you don't prepare for post-production, you can run out of funds and your film might just never be completed. But so many filmmakers focus solely on getting the film in the can, they miss many of the most important steps in finishing the film. That's why we've put together a panel of experts to help you better prepare for post-production so that you can move right through it and focus on marketing and distribution.
Together, our panelists have edited films for limited theatrical release, worked with the likes of Vice News and MSNBC, and more.
As with all of our events, tickets are priced with progressive increases, so get your ticket soon or you'll have to pay more for your seat.
