Filmmaker Avi Federgreen will present his annual one-day online seminar about indie producing on Saturday, January 22 and Sunday, January 23.
In this information-packed seminar you’ll hear first-hand from highly experienced producer Avi about what he describes as “the stuff they don’t teach you in film school.” The cost per person for the full one-day seminar is $100 + HST.
The seminar is designed for:
Canadian independent producers, writers, directors, actors, technicians making films today – or who want to make films – in the Canadian independent film landscape
New and emerging Canadian filmmakers who need a broad but practical intro and understanding of the Canadian independent film landscape
Music, look books, promoting, marketing, monetizing and distributing your film and a whole lot more
You can read the full agenda on Facebook (link is for Saturday but agenda info is the same for either day).
Please message Avi directly at [email protected] to indicate which day you want to attend (Saturday, January 22 or Sunday, January 23), submit your payment and receive access to the session of your choice.
