"Unlike most people who teach screen finance, Alan Harris has long experience of working at the coalface of film and TV funding. He can give you the tools you need to get your film funded and help you hit a rich seam of cash.”

Tim Adler, Screen Finance

Overview

Designed to give you a broad understanding of how feature films are funded, this intensive but informal course provides a vital insight into the world of financing independent films, from low/no budget to international co-productions.

* Financing overview: demystifying financing and legal facts, figures and terminology; finance plans; recoupment schedules; packaging; rights; delivery

* Case studies of recent low and medium budget films

* International co-production: how to make it work

* Understanding sales, marketing and distribution: the vital role they play in getting your film funded

* Story development

* How to close the deal: key legal issues and working with lawyers

* Expert industry guests

What our previous participants have said:

"The most worthwhile financing course I've attended by far… and I've attended quite a few. Alan Harris was the ideal moderator." John Needham, Producer

"You come out of this course with two options. A total career change, or rise to the challenge!"

Brett Sullivan, Producer

"…Everyone should attend an event like this. Not only do you learn a great deal about the business of making a film, you also get to mingle with the very people who have the power to get you where you want to be. At the course I attended there were around 40 producers and fewer than 6 writers. Frankly, I like those odds."
