ULB Film Financing 101 will help you value your film idea, actual film content or pseudo content (scripts or other collateral) using social sentiment. This event also allows you to attach distribution contracts to your valued property and apply for tax credits, all underpinned by social sentiment valuation. It's an easy way to begin financing your film through data, minus a headache.
ULB Film Financing 101 is an experience brought to you by the founders of FilmFundr and New York Film Loft. We love to bring storytellers together at events that are geared toward helping them truly achieve creative breakthroughs and business growth. This time, we're taking things to a whole new level so we can help to affect more projects and the filmmakers that create them.
