A new feature has been added to our monthly meetings!

San Diego Filmmakers would like to give you up to 5 minutes before our monthly meetings to do so.  During this time you can ask for cast and crew, show a trailer, solicit feedback about a scene, show your short film, and ask for crowd sourced funding. There is a maximum of two pre-approved presentations per meeting.

FINANCING YOUR INDEPENDENT FILM SEMINAR - A BIG SUCCESS!

Awesome seminar today! Thank you John W. Cones for presenting such a great seminar to the San Diego Filmmakers community. It met ALL expectations. Those who were fortunate to attend were enthusiastic about all that they learned. Thanks to all who came out to make it a success.

If you are a filmmaker, make sure you catch John W. Cones at his next seminar. He presented a lot of important material on financing an independent film project. Hopefully San Diego Filmmakers will get him back again next year to present another seminar. You might want to read his books on this subject. Take a look at books by John W. Cones as a resource for your project.

Thanks again John for an outstanding presentation. Thanks to Martin Banks for hosting the event at Video Gear.
