Filmmaker Conference 2009 – Modern Funding Sources

Before you can bring your film to a festival you have to get it made. In this tough economic climate, how do filmmakers navigate the wide variety of traditional and new funding sources to assist them in raising the funds they need? From equity financing to pre-sales (is there such a thing anymore?) and Co-Productions, what is available to filmmakers in this tight market?

Moderators:
Josh Braun, Sales Agent – Submarine Entertainment
Heather Winters, Producer – Studio on Hudson

Panelists:
Jana Edelbaum, Producer – Ideal Film Partners Film Fund
Lemore Syvan, Producer, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, The Ballad of Jack and Rose
