KICKSTARTER PANEL TOMORROW NIGHT
I'll be on a panel tomorrow night about alternative funding sources, specifically the crowdsourcing site Kickstarter. It's at Women Make Movies at 6:30pm. Check their website for details.
Sorry it's not free and I don't have any guest list but should be interesting as everyone on the panel speaking has raised $$$ for their film projects via Kickstarter.
Ciao, Roddy
