In the current financial climate many arts funders and organizations are encouraging artists to producing their own work and in effect become their own producers.  But what is a Producer and what do they do and how do you become one?

WFI LABS will concentrate on that and what is really involved? Learn to design and get funding to make your film or TV projects. Explore the ins and outs of both for-profit and not-for profit fundraising, distribution, and marketing opportunities. Learn how to best package your work to attract funding, get rights, putting together the strongest package, do pre-sales, and more.

Our LAB programs are where participants will learn producing from concept to distribution that covers the film and television industry. Every participant will produces work and develop a professional production during this program.

Guest producers and filmmakers will provide invaluable insight and guidance as participants gain the skills, experience, and network needed for a life in producing.
