Did you know that Carole Dean is this week’s Featured
Member on ReelGrok? She’s a producer, writer, funder, mentor and
one of the film industry’s strongest indie supporters.
If you don’t know her work or her non-profit foundation – From
the Heart Productions – you’re missing one of the film
industry’s most gracious and generous mentors. From the Heart has
given direct financial grants of $2M to qualified filmmakers. Plus added $50,000
in goods and services per grant. And given qualified writers the
opportunity to create in private at a private, 4-week, all-expenses-paid retreat
in New Zealand.
If you’re a filmmaker looking for support, guidance or funding for a
project, you need to know this remarkable woman and her foundation. She
knows more about film funding than anyone out there; her book – The Art
of Film Funding - is an industry essential. And she’s also an
executive producer whose latest documentary, “BAM 6.6” will
be screening on 11/28 at Raleigh Studios.
Details, lots more information, links and a brief interview with Carole are all
on ReelGrok, http://www.reelgrok.com.
Be sure to check her profile while you’re there and watch the trailer for
her latest doc, too. ReelGrok will have many Featured Members in the
future – I’m particularly proud to be a consultant to From the
Heart Foundation and to host Carole Lee Dean.
