*** Don't miss IIFF's other upcoming events in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York ***
The Los Angeles chapter of the Institute for International Film Financing (IIFF) continues its popular series of monthly gatherings at the junction of film & finance with another special Film Financing Townhall in Hollywood. Our friends at the American Film Institute (AFI) are hosting us on their beautiful Hollywood Hills campus, conveniently located where Western Ave. becomes Los Feliz Blvd.
This "grassroots" community get-together is designed to foster & inform productive relationships between attending professionals and to provide unbiased insight & education about the business of film (and film financing in particular). The event features a powerful roster of highly topical speakers from the filmmaking and financial industries. We are delighted to welcome real-world financiers among our guests for the evening!
IIFF's one-of-a-kind mission is to sustainably expand the scope & appeal of film financing, and to do so for the benefit of the public at large. True to our proven motto of "democratizing film financing," IIFF's regular Townhall Meetings bring together a wide array of professionals from relevant backgrounds in film, finance and beyond for a vibrant evening of insightful presentations and speeches, inspiring discussion and focused networking.
