Independent filmmakers, including producers, writers, and directors with a project in ideation or development stages who want to get their projects made but need strategies, guidance, and connections to make it happen. Projects can be scripted, documentary, features, shorts, or series, including web series. Participants should have some industry knowledge and experience to benefit from this event.
