Join the Berkeley FILM Foundation and BAVC Media (Bay Area Video Coalition) for a workshop hosted by award-winning film editors Melina Tupa and Stephanie Mechura who will teach filmmakers how to craft a film sample that demonstrates your abilities as a visual storyteller and gets noticed by potential funders. A well-crafted film sample can be the key to getting grants no matter what stage of production you are in. The session will shed light on what reviewers are looking for and how you can implement these elements into your application to help advance your film. Both experienced and beginner filmmakers are encouraged to attend!
