American Film Market Panel: Who Backs Movies and Why
Film Independent participates again at this year’s American Film Market with a panel devoted to the financing of independent movies. Have you ever wondered what made an investor say yes? Is a great script enough, or can a killer idea be thwarted by a poorly thought-out business plan or budget? Players in packaging and film financing reveal why the say “No” most of the time and what producers need to assemble to hear that elusive “Yes”. Learn about current sources of financing, finding the right fit for your project, attracting interest from talent, and the do’s and don’ts of approaching an investor. Registration forms and panelist details available at AmericanFilmMarket.com.
