Grant Writing for Creatives: A Two-Part Workshop
The class was very foundational and general, which I understand, it was only two nights (90 minutes each). I was frustrated about two things: 1. We spent the first 40 minutes introducing everyone in the room. 2. 99% of everyone was there as a documentary filmmaker, which was not what I was there for, so there was a bit of a bias in the conversations surrounding grants, film festivals, documentaries, etc. (not my world) The instructor clearly has experience and led things well. Inevitably it's just a general overview with the limited amount of time. So that was somewhat disappointing. -
