Event:
WIFTV's "Producer's Workbook 4" Launch
Thursday, July 29th 6pm - 8pmBiz Books is thrilled to be hosting the launch of the brand new Producer’s Workbook 4! Co produced by Women in Film & Television Vancouver and Reel West Productions this new release coincides with the 20th anniversary of the original Producer’s Workbook and you are invited to join in the celebration!
“There’s been so much change in the industry with new technologies and funding structures in the last 10 years. We wanted this new edition of the workbook to reflect the new media landscape for independent producers.”
- Clare Hodge, Producer at Clarity Films, and recent WIFTV Board Member
The definitive independent producer’s guide for the last 20 years, the newly expanded PW 4 is a guide for the overwhelming volume of documents used throughout the business of independent film, television and new media production. Helping the reader navigate the constant flux of agency and funding requirements, the workbook includes useful details such as standard legal clauses, sample agreements, publicly unavailable film agency budget and production templates and case studies by seasoned producers.
The first Producer’s Workbook originated as a binder accompanying a 1989 Producer’s Workshop put on by WIFTV. As requests for the binder kept coming in, WIFTV decided to publish and sell the binder and use sales as a viable fundraising tool for the organization’s overall mandate. To this day, all proceeds of PW 4 sales go towards activities and programs that support and advocate for the equity and advancement of women in screen based media.
