Evil Dead BURN - Industry Leader Masterclass Series

"How to Make a Movie: The Real Deal"

^{(4 x Masterclasses - approx 50 mins each in duration.)}

‍

What does it really take to get a movie made?

‍

The Evil Dead BURN - Industry Leader Masterclass Series brings together an exceptional line-up of international producers, entertainment lawyers, financiers and completion bond experts for a rare, practical look at the realities behind feature filmmaking.

‍

Using Evil Dead BURN as the case study, this four-part series goes beyond the creative idea and into the decisions that determine whether a film can actually get financed, protected, produced and completed. From pulling the money together, to making the right deals, avoiding paperwork pitfalls, protecting IP and working with a bond company, this is filmmaking from the inside out.

‍

Led by Rob Tapert, alongside Sarah Caughey, Mahdi Salehi and Matt Warren, the series offers screen professionals a chance to learn directly from industry leaders with deep international experience and real-world insight into how movies get made.

‍

Whether you are a producer, production team member, crew member or emerging filmmaker, this masterclass series is designed to give you a clearer understanding of the business, strategy and momentum needed to take a film from idea to reality.

‍Part 1: Film Financing Overview

This is a valuable opportunity to hear from the people who know the real deal - how to structure it, finance it, protect it, and most importantly, how to get out there and make the movie.
