SHANT JOSHI WORKSHOP
Every filmmaker we’ve ever met wants two things; more time, and more money. Given the inescapable link between proper funding and resources and the time artists have on set, a workshop on film financing felt like a no-brainer. Shant Joshi has an incredible resume and a proven track record of getting through closed doors. As part of Pendance Doctrina’s mission, this workshop extends a tradition of free workshops for emerging and established filmmakers. Space is limited so sign up early to avoid disappointment.
