Join us with our panel of Fringe Veterans (more info below!) as we discuss budgeting and fundraising for a Hollywood Fringe production. We will cover everything from what expenses to expect, how to make the most of your money, cost necessities, costs that add benefits but aren’t necessary, and, of course, how to raise money, crowdfunding, grants, and other funding opportunities.
This workshop is followed by a Q&A.
HFF workshops are “pay what you can” with a suggested ticket price of $5
