Hello!
I'm a Filmmaker, Producer, and Storyteller. On occasion, I act and write screenplays. I own a production company and spend much of my time in development; crunching numbers, working with artists, and taking meeting to find funding. I'm about to close on a round of financing. It's exciting, but ultimately just the first of many. I would love to capable of helping all artists, but candidly, it's already very very hard.
So a few month ago I decided to create a YouTube series devoted to empowering young artist and filmmakers to look at themselves as Entrepreneurs and business owners: www.youtube.com/c/previouslyunknown
I'll periodically post videos link to my profile, but you can see the entire series for free on YouTube, and already has the complete module discussion on Development and Funding uploaded. I hope you enjoy. I'd welcome you feedback, so I know what to improve going forward in the module on pre-production. Cheers!
