Development & Distribution w/ Jason Karman

December 4, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

This workshop is presented as part of The Incubators program. Click here for more info on the other workshops in this series >>


You have a great story. How do you develop it? And once it’s finished, how do you find your audience? Relationship building remains the heart of excellent film producing; one fosters trust and creates opportunity while advancing stories. In Canada, making a film ethically matters, and representation is a goal worth striving for. Social media has become the primary tool for finding information and connecting people. No longer does one need to have a great story, but the question now shifts to why are you the right person to tell this story? This workshop will help emerging writer-directors interested in being auteurs produce their stories and manage future relationships.

Topics to be covered include:

• Grant writing and project development
• Getting a crew together
• Festivals and other forms of distribution
