Launching this July on Stage 32: the next Advanced Film Finance Lab.
This is a 6-session deep dive designed for producers, filmmakers, and industry professionals who want to move beyond theory and actually build a financeable slate.
Over the course of the lab, you will:
• Break down real-world film finance structures
• Learn how to package projects for investors
• Build out recoupment waterfalls and capital stacks
• Position your slate for both equity and debt financing
• Develop a professional Slate Finance Business Deck you can actually take to market
By the end of the program, you won’t just understand film finance—you’ll have a tangible, investor-ready tool in hand.
If you're serious about getting your projects financed and scaling beyond single-project thinking, this lab is for you.

Jeanette Milio This looks like a really valuable initiative especially the focus on building an actual financeable slate rather than just understanding theory.
The part about structuring recoupment waterfalls and positioning projects for both equity and debt financing is something a lot of emerging filmmakers don’t get clear guidance on.
Definitely feels like the kind of program that bridges the gap between creative development and real-world execution.

Thank you all for the kind comments. I’m excited to be teaching this lab again. as far as I’m told it starts on 7/12 but I will reconfirm that date with the Stage32 team. Eric - AI is never a “bad word” in my humble opinion because there is just no way around it. It’s here - let’s embrace it and use it in a way that makes sense. Today it does offer various applications that can make production flies for efficient and costs more feasible. Tomorrow? Who knows.
Michelle Griffith I was wondering the same this looks like a really valuable lab, especially the focus on building an actual financeable slate rather than just theory.
Have you done anything similar before, or would this be your first time diving into something like this?
Not really. I've produced one feature to date, just released by Paramount in September. We had one equity funder, so I'm deep diving into anything that will inform and instruct me on a more "real life" scenario than one fairy-godmother funder :)
