Nationally recognized media consultant Morrie Warshawski presents his popular workshop, "Shake the Money Tree", that devotes a full day to his patented, in-the-trenches advice on fundraising for independent film and video projects. Looking for funding while maintaining a career as a mediamaker can be a competitive, elusive, and overwhelming proposition. Warshawski provides practical advice based on real experience to teach makers how to effectively raise money for their projects.
The workshop demystifies the world of donations and grants by explaining the best ways to approach individuals for donations (houseparties, direct mail, etc.); court foundations and corporations; make your project attractive to funders; lay the groundwork for and conduct research; write a grant proposal.
Warshawski's class includes exercises, lecture, videoclip examples, a copy of the brand new 2nd edition of "Shake the Money Tree" and an extensive packet full of information and references on fundraising. A must for the beginning, emerging, or experienced filmmaker who has any qualms about fundraising.
