Executive Director Anne Hubbell on the Provincetown International Film Festival at 25

Now they are raising funds on Seed&Spark to support The Juice Fund, an annual award which recognizes women directors who have […]

How Do You Take a Meeting? Learn How at the IFP’s Made in New York Media Center
There are resources to help you pitch your screenplay, and even articles for writers and directors on how to behave at a general meeting, but a broader discussion of how producers, directors and anyone else in the film business should play it when work talk moves off email to IRL is strangely absent from our tutorial landscape.

Full information is below, and note the special […]
