This course is aimed at creative people from UK independent cinemas, film festivals and mixed arts venues who are interested in learning essential business skills to develop their organisation.

The course will cover:
· The fundraising landscape: funding sources and future trends
· How to write a winning proposal
· Writing a business plan
· Managing capital projects
· Researching and pitching to corporate sponsors
