[UPDATE: the giveaway is complete, and the lucky winner is @JMoFilm!] I met my producer at an IFP event, and also I'm going to be at their Filmmaker Conference this year with my feature MANCHILD (which was previously selected for the Emerging Narrative program, and this year will be part of the international co-production market No Borders) -- so obviously I'm a big believer in IFP's programs. They'll open the exciting Made in NY Media Center by IFP in October, but first up is Independent Film Week in New York, which is chock full of workshops, networking opportunities, readings, and pitches. If you're not in NYC, this is a good reason to come, and we're giving away the best pass to the Filmmaker Conference money can buy here on No Film School.
Here are the full details on the Filmmaker Conference, which takes place September 15-19. The official blurb:
Whatever form your story takes, IFP’s Filmmaker Conference showcases how great projects can connect with audiences and stand out in a crowded marketplace. Taking place during IFP’s annual Independent Film Week – a one-of-a-kind event bringing the international film community together to celebrate, advocate, and introduce new voices on the independent scene – the Filmmaker Conference consists of a variety of small group & networking activities, hands-on workshops, keynotes with innovators and icons, and in-depth creative master classes.
Tickets are available for the conference here. And now our giveaway!
