Quick Advice for First Time Filmmakers: How to Make Sure Your Movie is a Success
This presentation is a practical guide to making a first film that becomes a useful career credit rather than an expensive disaster. Many first films fail because new filmmakers choose projects that are too large, too expensive, legally messy, or impossible to finish. A “disaster” film is one that drains money and time, never gets completed, creates legal problems, looks amateurish, or makes the filmmaker never want to make another film. A “triumph” is finished quickly, looks more expensive than it was, showcases the filmmaker’s strengths, builds good relationships, and makes the filmmaker eager to make the next project. Learn how to ensure your first film is a career building significant success.

Filmmaking 101 - Production Insurance, Completion Bonds, E & O Insurance with Expert Ed Rowin
Production Insurance, Completion Bonds, E & O Insurance are something every producer needs to know about, and they are life-and-death for anyone making a multi-million dollar project with investor and/or bank support. Why? Because banks and savvy investors won't fund projects that can't get a completion bond, production insurance, and E&O insurance. In this workshop expert Ed Rowin walks us through why this insurance is required, and the fundamentals of how to get it. Tip, getting this insurance requires you to hire line producers / unit production managers that insurance companies will bond, crews they will insure, and scripts that qualify for E & O. We have hundreds of recorded workshops with supporting resources and live events every month. Note this workshop was recorded several years ago, but completion bonds, production insurance, and E & O insurance have been required since the earliest days of filmmaking, and the fundamentals don't change because when you make a multi-million dollar film investors, banks, want to secure their investment and these tools are how they do that. This is a must-listen episode. Want to learn more about producing your own films? Visit www.NancyFultonMeetups.com (https://www.nancyfultonmeetups.com/).
