Workshop at
the 2016 Durban FilmMart
After the
swift uptake of the Business Model Canvas in 2015, the DFA continues on its
mission to bring this empowering tool to more South African producers. The easy
to use visual tool helps you map your project or your company in a language
that makes sense to people who can give you the financing you need.
The
Documentary Filmmakers' Association in partnership with the Canadian Film
Centre (CFC) Media Lab, and the Durban FilmMart are hosting two full day
workshops on the powerful Business Model Canvas Tool for South African
filmmakers.
The one day
intensive workshops take place over 17 – 20 June at the 2016 Durban FilmMart
and tie into industry events at the FilmMart.
The
Business Model Canvas is a powerful visual tool that helps filmmakers plan
projects. The workshop team will lead you through a series of exercises to help
you identify your specific business models and provide a blueprint for current
and future projects.
COMMENTS
FROM PARTICIPANTS AT THE 2015 DURBAN FILMMART
It simplified the business of filmmaking.
The tool was very easy to adapt and very
focused.
It has made me think out of the box regarding
my project.
Mind expanding.
The exercises allow you to realise alternative
opportunities in your business model.
Great perspective into my project by other
“attendancers” and a good understanding afterwards of the BMC tool.
At the end
of the workshop you will be able to identify the different elements of your
business model and integrate them to enhance your work, your company, and the
products you deliver. You will also be able to extract key points to be able to
deliver a 30 second pitch to investors.
We are
looking for 16 filmmakers with projects in development or production to attend
the Business Model Canvas workshops.
