DOC NYC PRO presents a two-part intensive workshop on grant funding for documentary filmmakers. In two 90-minute sessions, this workshop offers filmmakers an introduction to successful grant funding, including best practices for creating proposals for documentary funders, from government agencies to foundations to private philanthropists.
Taught by seasoned producer, grant writer and grant panelist Tracie Holder--who has raised millions in grant funding for her own and others' projects--this workshop provides a short overview that will help you put your best foot forward with potential funders, including:
- the key components of a successful grant proposal
- how to convey ideas visually
- how to strike a balance between the big, broad brushstroke ideas behind your project and the small details that make your project come alive on the page
- the common mistakes filmmakers make when submitting proposals--and how to avoid them
- how to use the grant writing process as the first step in your creative process
Tickets are $59 and include both 90-minute sessions.
All registrants may participate in the live sessions. Please note that this event will not be recorded and a transcript and other event materials will not be available after the event. Tickets are non-refundable.
