“Where’s the Money? How to Find Funding for Your Noncommercial Independent Film”

“Where’s the Money? How to Find Funding for Your Noncommercial Independent Film” Feb. 13th 7pm, Stein Auditorium

Noted author and fundraising guru, Morrie Warshawski, brings his years of in-the-trenches work with noncommercial independent filmmakers to bear on this topic that never goes out of style. The lecture will touch on the basic sources of donations and grants for film and video, the upsides and downsides of each funding avenue, and what it takes to be successful at fundraising. Emerging and seasoned filmmakers are welcome, and the lecture will be followed by a question and answer period, as well as a booksigning by the author.

Morrie Warshawski has worked in the field for over thirty years as an administrator, consultant, facilitator, teacher and writer. He was the Executive Director of two media arts centers (Bay Area Video Coalition and The Media Project). He has written over 500 grant proposals, and consulted with dozens of independent filmmakers on career and fundraising issues. Warshawski s the author of many articles, and of two books on fundraising, Shaking The Money Tree: How To Get Grants And Donations For Film And Video- 2nd Edition (Wiese Books, LA), and The Fundraising Houseparty: How to Party With a Purpose and Raise Money for Your Cause -2nd Edition. Warshawski lives in Napa, CA and maintains his own website at http://www.warshawski.com.
