The Producer’s Network

  • The Producer’s Network is a 10-week program designed for filmmakers in the early stages of their careers to hone in on the creative and logic of producing.

    Participants will have the opportunity to practice pitching, create a budget and schedule specific to their project, and learn about tax incentives and fundraising strategies while discussing creative producing and the ethics of producing.

    Guest speakers will be invited to allow participants to hear from experienced filmmakers and build their network of fellow producers.

    The program is best suited for those bridging the gap between short films and feature production.
