One essential skill all producers shoud have in their arsenal is the ability to negotiate. Some have a natural knack for it, while others find it daunting to ask for lower rates from vendors, or a higher advance from a distributor. Fortunately, these skills can be taught.

We’re thrilled to welcome back producer Charles Howard for a fun and interactive session where he will share effective tools and techniques for negotiating. Once in your skillset, they can be applied to numerous real-world situations, such as securing vendor and location rentals, coming to terms on cast and crew contracts, and finalizing sales & distribution agreements.
