What we’re about
Join this group to network with musicians, screenwriters, filmmakers, and performers. We offer conference call and face to face events several times a month. Our informative events cover topics like how to fund your media, how to protect your intellectual property, how to earn more from what you create, how to publish books and apps, how to produce films, etc. We also cover topics that speak to the heart and soul of the artistic experience, like Jung's theories of the collective unconscious.
We also do social and networking events where creative pros can comfortably and happily spend time together. It's kind of cool that we live in a community where the best writers, filmmakers, performers, and musicians congregate. We should make the most of it . . .
Join us to turn your dreams of being a writer, screenwriter, or writer/producer into a reality. We are a warm, friendly, welcoming community meeting in and around Santa Monica. Learn, share, ask questions, discover how to release your writing into books, audio books, scripts, essays, graphic novels, and content-based apps and joyfully earn a living from your work as an author.
You may find some of the following resources created for past events useful if you're looking for immediate help with your creative enterprise.

You can purchase the regular ticket for $27, which is just the masterclass or you can purchase the VIP ticket for $77, which includes the masterclass as well as an opportunity to have an exclusive VIP session, alongside other VIPs, to work directly with Joanne to perfect your logline. Crafting a logline that really sells your film is vital, as it's what you use to entice investors, actors and other people to be part of your film.
A bit about Joanne: For 25+ years, Joanne Butcher has worked with filmmakers from all over the world -- US, UK, Brazil, Cuba and the Caribbean -- helping them uplevel their business and marketing practices. Now, as a film business and fundraising coach, she helps independent filmmakers raise funds to get their projects made and distributed globally. Her clients have over 180 feature films from script to distribution, in both documentary and narrative. She's also facilitated the distribution of 23 features and many more in film festivals winning awards and achieving visibility the filmmakers never dreamed of.
Don't miss Joanne's workshop!Note from Nancy Fulton: Joanne's helped many hardworking filmmakers get their projects produced and distributed. As a Film Business and Fundraising Coach she ensures they can make profitable projects year after year by giving them the skills and information they need to thrive. I've interviewed Joanne in previous events to talk about exactly how she has become so effective at helping people get their projects across the finish line. It comes down to her very proactive training and support. Her financial support as a sponsor of my educational events for filmmakers helps me run more month after month. She is a very effective mover and shaker in independent film.
