"Can I see your trailer?" A fundraising trailer can make or break your film. Stop the guess work of what works and what doesn't with this full-day workshop for producers, directors, writers and editors. You will:

• Learn the foundational story structures for fundraising trailers
• Learn opening and closing techniques for pitching, proposals and trailers
• Learn the most common mistakes filmmakers make when making their proposals, budgets and trailers and how to avoid them (not the filmmakers: the mistakes!)
• View trailers before and after Fernanda's doctoring
• View successful fundraising trailers

Bring your work-in-progress for analysis and discussion!

One trailer will be selected for discussion at random.
(All playback is from Mac laptop, DVD and Quicktimes only).
