Viviana clearly explains the film financing process step-by-step and demystifies the complex, bespoke nature of pre-sales, tax credits, sales agents, and so much more. I feel infinitely more confident in my ability to produce a film thanks to this class. I give it the highest possible recommendation for any independent filmmaker looking to finance their film and take their projects to the next level.\" - Sean R.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #42c2cb; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\"Viviana has a tremendous depth and range of knowledge about film financing and she was happy to share everything she knew.

Having been a completion producer for a bond company, I have seen too many producers who were let down in the producing process by so-called-professionals who offered support at the on-set of a production, but then failed to deliver when needed. Viviana and her company Three Point Capital have an excellent reputation, and her counsel provided in the class solidified that. I highly recommend both Viviana and Stage 32 Education!\" - Patricia C.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"color: #cdcdcd; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/admin.stage32.com\/vendor\/moxiemanager\/data\/uploads\/18_4.png\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stage 32","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48056261280051,"sku":"","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/7728\/4659\/files\/image_65c5b14397463.jpg?v=1707454790","url":"https:\/\/stage32.myshopify.com\/products\/how-to-use-gap-financing-to-finish-your-film","provider":"Stage 32","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
