Introducing

BIFF Filmmaker Workshop

With the advent of digital technologies, this truly is the era of DIY filmmaking. If you write the script, why not make the movie? For those interested in creating short films or micro-budget features this panel will cover keys to financing, pre-production through post, marketing, navigating the festival circuit, and more.

The workshop is intended for all ages and will appeal to novices and experienced filmmakers alike. Reservations are not required but seating is on a first-come basis. This workshop is free and open to the public.
