Taught by producer Stu Pollard (Men Go to Battle, Split, Bass Ackwards), whose business plans have raised more than $10 million in production funds, Film Independent’s Indie Business Plan Primer is ideal for filmmakers preparing to write independent film business plans targeting angel investors.

Focused on the key elements that should be in place prior to creating a business plan – as well as structure, layout, research, and presentation – this four-part class will also provide insights on the ethics and psychology of selling high-risk investments, tools for making your deal more attractive, guidelines for identifying prospects and tips for maintaining long-term relationships with financial partners.

Participants will leave this class with a clear, real-world strategy for writing a coherent, thoughtful and powerful business plan.
