SUMMARY:Financing Your Film (without Selling Your Soul)
DESCRIPTION:Create a successful plan to finance your film in our online workshop with Jeff Rivera. \nRegistration: $20 (plus Eventbrite Fees) \nVirtual workshop — join us online! \nJeff Rivera is a writer\, producer\, and founding partner at Collective Five Entertainment\, a collective of media companies telling universal stories through the lens of Black and Brown voices. He is also the Editor-in-Chief of Bypass Hollywood. He has worked with Oscar and Emmy winners\, bestselling authors\, and thought leaders across media.

Whether you’re making a Harlem-themed doc or an animated short\, you’ll learn how to finance your film without losing creative control. \nThis interactive workshop pulls back the curtain on how to actually raise money for your film—without giving up ownership or control. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned filmmaker\, Jeff walks you through proven strategies to lower your budget to something achievable and raise that first $5\,000 to $10\,000 to get started. This hands-on workshop is for creators on every level and will walk you through the basic tools you’ll need to achieve the very first steps in funding your film. Discover multiple funding pathways: angel investments\, brand partnerships\, rebates\, and crowdfunding options. \nReel Sisters is supported\, in part\, by the National Endowment for the Arts\, West Harlem Development Corp.\, New York State Council on the Arts and private donors.
