Filmmakers often have great ideas, but lack the necessary skills and resources to know what to do with them. This one-day course helps you identify what makes a good idea, and gives you the main tools to get a project off the ground, namely:
- A well-written proposal
- A great, confident and compelling pitch
- A much needed taster tape
- Tips for working with production companies
- An overview of various funding opportunities
Using examples of commissioned proposals and taster tapes, and with an overview of funding and commissioning objectives, it’s an essential one-day intensive for moving ahead with your own project.
