IFP/North provides invaluable information resources for independent filmmakers in the midwest, including fiscal sponsorship. Do you give additional support to artists once they’ve received the award?
You betcha (we really don’t talk like that either, for the record). The media coverage of this film fund is major! In addition to the local press we send information to national outlets as well. Mentorship and support with high profile executives in New York and Los Angeles is given to each recipient as well. The prestige of this program is equivalent to Minnesota royalty in the film community.
