GUIDANCE FOR INDEPENDENT MEDIA ARTISTS

Join instructors Peg Campbell and Walter Quan (from the BC Arts Council) as they delve into the domain of public funding for film and video projects, and grant writing for arts councils.

The morning session will see an overview of the kinds of funding available from the public sector for short films with up-to-date information on guidelines, expectations and application closing dates. The afternoon is hands-on as participants judge a set of three funding applications from a jury’s perspective. The participants will be divided into groups and evaluate the proposals in a mock jury style. After they have made their decisions the instructors will hold a post-mortem with the groups to discuss the results.

This workshop is a great way to see what the funders see in the many applications they receive so that you can make sure yours is among the few that stand out.
