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.
