The Funding Workshop at PiF: Panel features Bravo!FACT executive director Judy Gladstone and reps from other funds

Next Friday 14 October is your opportunity to find out about funding at the Planet in Focus Funding Workshop.

Moderator is filmmaker and PiF Industry Programmer Allan Tong, and panel members include Francesca Acinelli (CMF), Judy Gladstone (Bravo!FACT), Mark Haslam (OAC), William Huffman (TAC), and Howard Rosen (Bell NMF). The event takes place at 9:30 at the Miles Nadal JCC (750 Spadina Avenue, Toronto) in the Al Green Theatre, and admission is $15, or by Festival Pass or Industry Pass.
