ABOUT
Hey, Filmmakers…you’re an action-oriented creative type who loves making films, but have you thought about how to work more on your business than in it? Yes, filmmaking is a business. People who are looking to invest their time and/or treasure in this industry are looking to invest in YOU, the filmmaker and your overarching vision rather than just your product.
To ensure success for all involved, you must embrace a mindset that helps you clearly communicate your vision, put a compelling plan in place, and build a strong team. Having a great sizzle is also part of the mix!
By attending this special session at the 2024 GCUFF, you will:
- Understand the importance of having the right mindset & clear vision to achieve your goals
- Learn the importance of having a compelling business plan & other well thought out operating tools
- Hear first-hand success stories from industry professionals about developing your network & key relationships
- Discover how best to utilize Greater Cleveland Film Commission resources that can help get your film made & the path to potentially tap into the Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit
