Professional Development : Scripted Digital Series Incubator
The Scripted Digital Series Incubator is an intensive four-day program that introduces emerging content creators to the key aspects required to ensure the successful development of an original scripted digital series. A small number of projects, represented by an individual or teams consisting of a producer and a writer, will be selected to participate in this program. Create a more polished and marketable script with stronger characters and a narrative arc that is ready for the next stage of funding applications. Gain the knowledge needed to create a strong funding application and learn about available funding options. Build a marketing and audience engagement strategy. Strengthen your industry network.
Professional Development : Lights! Camera! Learn!
Learn about the lighting, camera, electrical and grip departments in the form of instruction AND hands-on work in this 5-day program. Our program, LIGHTS! CAMERA! LEARN!, created with our supporting partner Sunbelt Rentals and in conjunction with our community partners IATSE 873, IATSE 667 and NABET 700, is designed to engage all those who identify as women with the departments (lighting, camera, grip) that historically have been male-dominated. This program will introduce them to the basics of their functions within the production process, to give them hands-on opportunities with equipment, and to give them the information that will help them to determine which (if not all!) of these areas they wish to pursue.
