MPFV327 The Business of Film/Video 3cr

This course covers a range of strategies for
students to build their public profile and
portfolio while developing a sustainable plan to
survive as an artist after school. Topics include:
creating project proposals and professional
portfolios; developing budgets; funding through
grants and crowd sourcing; internships and
learning to write and speak effectively about
their work to film producers, film financiers,
museum curators, and art dealers. Visiting
speakers include local curators, festival
directors, critics, and exhibition professionals.
This course will also cover the ever elusive
production management of any project from film, to
live events and shows, to art exhibition and media
installations in out of the box venues and
locations.  Travel into the City of Boston on
assignment and field trips while learning.  After
taking this course, students should have all the
necessary skills to present their work in the
professional arena. While the course focuses on
moving image work, students working in any medium
are encouraged to register.
