The Freelance Filmmakers’ Course. Presented by Metro Screen.
Most creatives, particularly in the screen industry, become freelancers. Success as a freelancer requires a great deal of self-motivation, discipline, strong networking skills, and an entrepreneurial attitude. Along with your own specialist skills, you also need to know how to run your own business – marketing yourself, managing your cash flow, complying with business law and getting on with the tax man.
This course will cover all the basics of setting up and managing your own freelance business – record-keeping, budgeting and cashflow, negotiating your contract and fees, and invoicing and payments. You will also gain an insight into how to build your own industry networks, create a really great CV and/or showreel and how best to keep abreast of trends and developments in your specialisation.
Assessments are made against units of competency from the Certificate IV in Screen and Media CUF40107 – Provide services on a freelance basis (CUFIND401A)
