Non-Profit Resources for the Indie Producer

Many indie filmmakers can give chapter and verse on the tax rebate and film loan programs, but what resources are available beyond that? You might be surprised. Have you tried to tap many of these recently: contract awards, free equipment rentals, scholarships, screenwriting awards, producers academies, writers labs, documentary programs, mentorships, free workshops? The list goes on. Some are competitive, others have a nominal fee, but many are open to whoever signs up. Few places offer so much to the motivated indie producer and our panelists from key non-profits are here to walk you through some of what’s out there. Panelists include:
Trish Lopez - NM Filmmakers Program Director, New Mexico Film Office 
Octavio Marin – Signature Programs Director and National Conference Director, National Association of Latino Independent Producers
Cara Mertes – Director, Documentary Film Program, Sundance Institute 
Angelique Midthunder – Executive Vice President, New Mexico Women In Film
Moderator: Michael Hare – Independent television and film producer
