Leading from Behind the Lens:  the Independent Edge, Sustainability, & 21st Century Marketing Strategies

Hear from veteran filmmakers and get tips from experts. As an independent filmmaker you have a lot of hurdles, from selecting a project that you care about, to balancing all the things needed to turn an idea into a viable film.

The independent edge is the ability to make creative choices that may elude mainstream filmmakers. So how do you choose a project and what goes into deciding how to tell the story? How can you best use the edge that audiences have come to expect from independent filmmakers?

And another thing, filmmaking can be expensive.  What can you expect from crowdfunding and other financing models? What goes into creating a successful pitch? Okay, what about 21st Century marketing trends? What are the trends and how can I use them?

This panel includes voices across the spectrum of financial, creative, and marketing know-how. They will share the choices they’ve made and how they’ve made it work for them. Join in the conversation with your questions and observations.
