have a very realistic perspective on the economics
of this business before thay make their movie. And often they're securing financing from people who
know even less about the business; that's a recipe
for disaster every time."
--Micah Green of Cinetic Media, New York, from an interview with Jim Vincent in Indie Slate magazine June 2004

REALISTIC PERSPECTIVES–
One of the most pervasive barriers to independent filmmakers, or producers is the inability to secure, maintain and sustain financing. Oftentimes it is also the most overlooked or underestimated barrier to filmmaking success. The Film Program Cannes places successful film financing at the top of its educational agenda and places its participants in the center of the very venues where that financing is secured.
The Program, working with its affiliates, provides its participants with proven methods for success and direct access to film industry professionals. Participants learn the why and how of successful film market networking. >>>>
>>>> They will put what they have learned at the Program’s “Intensives” into immediate use--meeting with investors, distributors and sales reps to come away with needed film financing. Attending the Film Program Cannes with a film project makes the Program experience even more valuable.
