This one day intensive workshop will go over how to properly build a business plan for your film or your production company.  Starting a business is no small task and requires a proper plan that identifies how you will finance, launch, operate, market, sell your product to your target market.  A proper business plan is a blueprint to execute your idea that not only highlights the opportunities, but also points out and mitigates the risks and challenges that you will face along the way.  This hands on workshop will start will walk you through each aspect of a business plan and give you opportunities to apply the knowledge to your own films or company. Arriving to the workshop with an idea (or an existing film or company) is encouraged but not required.  This workshop will be taught by Jodi Cilley, Founder and President of the Film Consortium San Diego who holds an MBA with an emphasis in Entrepreneurship.
