Are you a producer or filmmaker who is faced with the challenge of raising money for your next project? Are you unsure how your project or production company can make sense to investors? Are you a lecturer trying to expose students to the ins and outs of the business side of film? Or maybe business jargon gets you tongue- tied?

If any of the above applies to you, the Business Model Canvas workshops are for you, regardless of whether you re starting out with your first independent production or you re a seasoned producer with a trail of credits to your name.

After the swift uptake of the canvas in 2015, the Documentary Filmmakers Association (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 DFA in partnership with the Canadian Film Centre (CFC) Media Lab, and the Durban FilmMart are hosting two full day workshops on the Business Model Canvas Tool for South African filmmakers. The one day intensive workshops take place over 17 to 20 June at the 2016 Durban FilmMart and tie into industry events at the FilmMart.

The Business Model Canvas (BMC) is a visual tool that helps filmmakers plan projects. The workshop team will lead participants through a series of exercises to help them identify their specific business models and provide a blueprint for current and future projects.

At the end of the workshop participants will be able to identify the different elements of their business model and integrate them to enhance their work, company, and the

products they deliver.

Sixteen filmmakers with projects in development or production will get the opportunity to attend the Business Model Canvas workshops.

Eligibility criteria:

1. You are a South African citizen, have permanent residency status, or refugee status in South Africa.

2. You have at least one credit as either producer, director, or writer (doc, short, fiction).

3. Describe the project for which you are currently trying to work out the business model.

4. Briefly describe your business approach for your proposed project: finance plan,

resources, customers, distribution channels and potential revenue.

5. Provide your filmography, headshot and contact details.

6. You are able to cover your costs to attend the workshops at the Durban FilmMart.

NB! Only one member per organisation will be considered.

Application deadline: 25 February 2016 at 17h00.

If you wish to apply for the workshops, complete the online application form.
