CANCELLED – Film Funders: Join your colleagues at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival

January 2022—
21
10:00 am—2:00 pm

For the past six years, MIF has been gathering film funders at Sundance as a way to connect, share and learn from one another. It’s one of our favorite funder meetings of the year, but unfortunately we are unable to host the meeting in-person this time.

We have a backup plan. On Feb. 15, after we’ve all had the chance to experience Sundance, we’ll fire up the Zoom and gather you and your film funding peers to share your 2022 priorities and thoughts about what you saw. We’ll also hear about a new field-building initiative called the Color Congress Initiative.

Learn more about that event and register.
