Workshop Description:

You’ve got a script you’re proud of, and now you want to bring it to life! But first: what should your crowdfunding goal be?


In this workshop, Seed&Spark’s Bri Castellini will teach you how to build your first budget, utilize loans to make up your budget (conceptually as well as literally), navigate the ask, break down your script, and cut costs without sacrificing your vision. Make that dollar stretch!
