Kopkind + CID Filmmakers Retreat 2012
INVITATION TO FILMMAKERS
We are pleased to announce a call to independent documentary filmmakers who would like to participate in a week long seminar and retreat in southern Vermont, limited to nine filmmakers along with special invited guests.
August 5-12, 2012. Treefrog Farm - Guilford, Vermont.
Imagine: you, your film or work-in-progress, and a week in a bucolic setting with other filmmakers. Enjoy film screenings in the barn, problem solving in the hot tub, networking at the swimming hole, conquering kickstarter over coffee on the deck..
At a time when you may feel overwhelmed by everything it takes to make your film, this is the week to finally take the time to assess what filmmaking is to you and what it will take to make you succeed on your terms. Join us to explore your own work and the issues you face with your film and recharge your creative battery with a special brand of "radical relaxation: great films, great food and deep discussions on the art, politics and the plain fun of filmmaking."
