From Audition to Ownership: Building the Projects You Want to Star In

About the event

More actors are unlocking screen time by creating their own IP rather than waiting to be cast. This panel brings together actor-producers who have done exactly that. And they're here to show you how. 
 
Join us for a virtual panel with a live Q&A. This practical, insider-focused session is designed to give performers clarity and confidence around developing, owning, and producing their own content. 
 
Topics will include financing, rights, union basics, and distribution — framed specifically for performers ready to take the next step. 

Moderated by:
Emmy Award-winning actor-producer David Millbern
