Recorded live on Monday, May 2, 2022. (Workshop Two on Tuesday, May 3, 2022 was not recorded.)
Grants! So many growth opportunities exist for doc filmmakers but researching and applying can be overwhelming. Academy Award nominated producer Kira Kennedy-Simon (Ascension), who has been awarded over $1 million in grant funding, hosts this two-part workshop along with funders and special guests. Day 1 includes funders and “gate openers” Keri Archer Brown of ITVS and Jon-Sesrie Goff from the Ford Foundation who will address transparency in the applications and process as well as give concrete tips and notes for filmmakers to consider in approaching different funders. They will demystify the application processes to help you shift through the noise and hone in on which programs are best for you and your film. Day 2 is an interactive workshop with time to review actual successful grant applications and receive application feedback from peers or mentors while working in small groups.
Tickets for two-workshop event are $59, and will include live and recorded access to the two 90-minute workshops taking place on Monday, May 2, 2022 at 12:00pm ET and Tuesday, May 3, 2022 at 12:00pm ET.
