We help independent creators from around the world develop new projects, connect within the industry, and champion collaborative and impactful storytelling at all stages. For beginners, you will hear from industry experts providing you with real-world practical advice to help turn your dream idea or screenplay into reality.

For experienced filmmakers, you will hear from Oscar and Emmy Nominated Experts that will teach you how to add value to your projects. You will learn new strategies on how to finance your film/tv project, how to market your film/tv project using social media, how to attract A-List talent, how to maximize tax strategies under IRS Code 181, and how to sell your film/tv project to networks, Netflix and Amazon.
