The Blueprint: How to Secure Film Funding

Kick off the 27th with the most critical workshop of the summit. In an industry where 90% of independent films never get funded, access to capital is the only metric that matters. Hosted by the leadership of Dreamland Studios—part of Georgia’s multi-billion dollar production ecosystem—this workshop pulls back the curtain on how active funds actually operate.

Austin breaks down the "Capital Stack" architecture used by major financial entities to de-risk film investment. This is not theoretical; this is the exact model used to greenlight commercial projects today.

What You Will Learn:

• The Dreamland Advantage: Direct insight into the investment criteria of an active, Georgia-based studio fund.
• Structuring the Deal: The precise formula for blending tax incentives (soft money) with private equity (hard money).
• The Waterfall: How to build the repayment schedule that high-net-worth investors and banks require before writing a check.
