The Women’s Media Incubator & Marketplace - Financing for Female Filmmakers
The most frequent barrier cited in the obstacles facing women in American independent film is the lack of film financing and the inability to raise capital from investors. This panel aims to demystify the changing landscape of finance and distribution models, and to look at new opportunities from funds being set up to support marginalized filmmakers to the consequences of an all-female board at a re-configured Weinstein Company. In addition, the panel will explore new ideas to further empower women filmmakers in the future.
