The goal of Film Artist Consulting Executives (F.A.C.E.) is to provide independent filmmakers with guidance in many of the areas that might seem like daunting obstacles (e.g., transferring story to script format, creating a realistic budget, raising funds, assembling a crew, negotiating with talent, licensing music, creating publicity, securing distribution). Often, these key elements are the stumbling blocks that make an already arduous journey that much more difficult. There are no shortages of challenges facing today's independent filmmakers. Perhaps not surprisingly, the physical production of a film is often the easiest - or at least the most predictable part of the process (and the most fun). It is our hope that this site becomes a valuable resource in helping you reach that point.
