Independent Distribution Workshop with Paige Williams

WIFVNE invites filmmakers, producers, and creatives of all kinds to join us for a three-part workshop series designed to demystify the legal and business side of the creative industry. Led by Paige Williams, an entertainment attorney with deep experience in independent film production, financing, and distribution, each session will equip attendees with the knowledge to protect their work, navigate contracts, and approach distribution with confidence.

All three workshops will be offered both in person at Studio Lab and virtually via Zoom. Each session includes a live Q&A.
