Does anyone want to have a session about getting funding for independent projects? It seems to me that a lot of animators have ideas for their own projects, but they just look at it as something that they will do by themselves or maybe with friends. However, there are resources out there for getting funding for independent projects, like grants or crowd-funding... it's something the film community often does, but it seems as though the animation community doesn't often take advantage of these kinds of opportunities.
I've been emailing with the RACC to see if they are interested in sending a representative to BeTween this year, but we could also discuss things like Kickstarter (are there any Kickstarter/crowdfunding stories anyone would like to share?). Would anyone like to have a session on funding? Does anyone have suggestions for other potential funding resources that we, the organizers, could try to contact and recruit ahead of time?
And yes, a representative from RACC will be attending to talk about their project grants. So exciting!
