Making the Leap to
PROFESSIONAL Filmmaker

Guest Speakers:

What does it take to be a paid professional in the film and media industry?  IFA is devoted to helping people rise from entry-level ranks, film hobbyists, to the ranks of professionals who do excellent work and are paid well to do it.  Raising the level of professionalism builds the industry infrastructure and attracts higher budget productions to Arizona.

We have invited a very successful husband and wife camera and sound team, Elisa and Bobby Francis to be our guests to offer their insights and wisdom about very practical information on what it takes to become a paid professional.  Be warned!  They don't sugar coat success!  But if you have a burning desire to turn your interests in film into a career – you don't want to miss this special workshop.

Covering several topics such as:
 

* Pre-Production – why it is so important, what you need to consider, how this critical stage can make or break your success.

* What are the 16- Guidelines of Professionalism that will get you hired – and keep you on the job.

* What it takes to have a successful career in the film and media industry. 
We encourage everyone at all levels of experience to attend this valuable workshop. 
 
Independent Film Arizona is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
