FEATURED MEMBER: Jason P. Brubaker

Executive Producer & New Media Marketing Guru

Jason Brubaker"Too many filmmakers don't understand sales & marketing. Distribution channels have made the shift from brick and mortar to VOD and streaming websites. Suddenly filmmakers have incredible new outlets to sell their movies. But to prosper - to get a movie seen and sold - marketing has to be one of the producer's key roles.

"If you're entrepreneurial, I think the future of filmmaking is pretty bright. Content can be produced for minimal up-front costs. And it can be delivered instantly to the world. It's now possible to create a revenue stream without inventory. To me, that's amazing...!"

fans from around the world. One of Northern California's foremost showcases of cinema, SFF has presented the Sacramento premieres of world-class titles such as SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, THE PRINCE OF BROADWAY, WATER FLOWING TOGETHER, and THE BIG SHOT CALLER.

The Festival is a satisfying experience for visiting artists, especially due to its focus on the filmmaker. SFF recognizes that making contacts and learning from working pros are two big reasons that filmmakers choose a festival. That's why the Festival has partnered in years past with distributors such as IFC and CURRENT TV and welcomed a host of industry luminaries such as Michael Madsen, Academy Award-winner John Daly, John Walker (RATATOUILLE), Chris Lockhart of William Morris Endeavor, Louis Mandylor (MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING), and Vicky Jenson (SHREK).

DreamAgo's Plume & Pellicule Screenwriting Workshop May 05 - May 13, 2010

Call for Entries
Script Submission Deadline: January 20, 2010

DreamAgoGreat opportunity for internationally-minded screenwriters! (Feature films only. Not accepting documentaries or shorts.)

Each year, the international film association, DreamAgo. sponsors a 10- day screenwriting workshop in Sierre, Switzerland called "Plume et Pellicule," which is figurative French for "from script to screen." 

Ten talented screenwriters can spend an intensive week in one-on-one coaching sessions with film professionals from around the world. Past coaches have included John Herman Shaner (US), Maggie Soboil (South Africa), Hasan Legzouli (Morocco), Arturo Arango (Cuba), Randa Haines (US), Yves Lavandier (France), Henry Bean (US) & Larry Gross (US). One of DreamAgo's patrons, director Stephen Frears (UK), is a frequent guest. Workshop alumni have gone on to see their films made and win other prizes, including a Nicholl Screenwriting Fellowship. The workshop takes place in an idyllic castle nestled in the Swiss Alps. A mini film festival runs in parallel to the workshop, where participants can view films and hear guest filmmakers discussing their work.

The workshop is trilingual. On-site translators are provided. If you have at least a first-draft script in English, French, or Spanish, you may submit it for consideration.

Plume & Pellicule is highly recommended to writers whose themes include the social, cultural, and political; writers who strive to touch on things we share as human beings no matter where we live on the planet.  If selected, room, board, workshop participation & film screenings during the 9-day stay at the castle in Sierre are free.  Particpants are responsible for travel costs and script translations.
