Every year, thousands of films are successfully developed, produced, and released that did not go through the studio system…and your film could be one of them! In fact, even during the current SAG-AFTRA strike, independent producers who are not affiliated with the AMPTP can apply for a waiver from SAG-AFTRA to be able to shoot their films. Making independent movies is always challenging but it remains possible if you follow the proper SAG-AFTRA guidelines.

Whether you’re a filmmaker, producer, writer, or actor, you can spearhead an independent feature film. You just need to have the right elements ready to share and to know the right steps to take once you do.

In this exclusive Stage 32 5-part lab, you’ll work in an intimate virtual class setting and in a one-on-one Zoom meeting with an industry veteran to learn how the pros get a project market-ready and attractive to co-producers, financiers, talent, distributors, and more. You will learn exactly what steps you need to take next to get your project ready to go into production!

Returning to host one of Stage 32’s most sought-after labs is Aimee Schoof, the co-founder of Intrinsic Value Films. Aimee has produced over 35 feature films, with many premiering at Sundance, Tribeca, SXSW, Toronto, Venice, and more. Intrinsic Value Films develops, produces, and sells independent films for worldwide distribution, and Aimee is here to show you how they get it done.

So what elements do you need to have in your script to make it attractive in the current market? Who should you bring into your project first - producers, director, actors - and how do you go about doing that? Who should you approach to finance your film and how do you present the project to them? These questions and so many more will be answered for you in this 5-session interactive lab.

Aimee will work directly with you to cover:

• Getting your script ready for the market
• Understanding how to market your story
• Finding the right partners to mobilize your project
• Utilizing resources to find new contacts, companies, and opportunities
• Assembling a successful film pitch deck
• How much material you should send, depending on who you’re sending it to
• Anatomy of successful outreach, with examples and a practice session
• The SAG-AFTRA waiver
• And more!

This 5-part lab will culminate in you pitching your project to Aimee and receiving valuable feedback on your pitch to make sure it’s ready for the market. You’ll complete this lab knowing how to make your script marketable with a plan of attack to find the right team to produce it.

Plus, Aimee will provide helpful and confidential resources exclusively for you and other attendees that you can download and use for your projects, including an up-to-date list of in-demand writers and directors to reach out to, pitch deck examples, outreach email templates, and more.

Join today to grab one of the limited spots available to work directly with Aimee and get your feature film ready to take out to the marketplace and get into production!
