Seminars
These
seminars are hard-hitting, information-filled working events that put
producer's hands on, and wraps their minds around the principles and
practices common among the most successful producers in the film industry.
Available at the seminar, The Producer's Business Handbook and an accompanying
computer CD containing development and production company planning,
operating and analysis sample files enables participants to implement
what they've learned.
The seminar is definitely not a panel discussion, exchange of industry
horror stories or unduplicatable successes. It is a reality-packed discussion
that will leave you with a fresh and startlingly different perspective
on your place in the entertainment world.
Entertainment Business Group is a business consulting firm, not typically in the seminar business. These seminars allow us the means to pay back to an industry that has been very good to us for over thirty years. It has proven to be an effective means of helping those who know how to produce function just as professionally in the business aspects of the industry. Entertainment Business Group has teamed up with a number of major industry companies including Cinema Completions International, Gipson Hoffman and Pancione, and Women in Film, to keep the cost of tickets affordable.
