SUMMARY:Movie Magic
DESCRIPTION:Film Fatales hosted a live online workshop about Understanding Film and Television Tax Credits with Fanshen Cox (DEIA Manager) and Leah Medrano (Deputy Director) from the California Film Commission. \nWe learned about the CA Film Commission\, what they do\, and how they can help fund your next film. In this discussion\, we dispelled myths about getting California tax credits. During this interactive session we broke down the application process with the goal of increasing representation for the projects that apply. The webinar helped demystify the tax credit application process and provided an introduction to the California Film Commission\, its services\, and its helpful representatives. The workshop was not recorded to create a safe space for active participation.

SUMMARY:Desperately Seeking Producer

Hear from seasoned producers about how they find projects and what qualities they value in their collaborators.
