Academy Pavilion, Downtown Cary Park | 90 minutes | Workshop
Instructor: Sara Elizabeth Timmins

The DECK is your number one marketing material/door opener for your film. Nailing it is key to getting the meeting or getting your script read. In this workshop, we go “behind the scenes” for a SNEAK PEEK at Decks that have attracted over $15M in film funding! You will gain insight so you can craft your own with knowledge, understanding, and confidence.
