Dramatic changes in media and philanthropy have spawned new ways in which filmmakers and funders work together. "Engaged" grant makers are seeing the need for powerful films that support social change. Filmmakers want to tell stories that have an impact in the public sphere. Active Voice, a media strategy company that frequently works as an intermediary between people with money and people with cameras, is developing guidelines for "Prenups" that can help all parties understand each other's goals, professional standards and values before they "tie the knot." Come share your own experiences and contribute to this emerging and lively conversation.

I have talked with Ellen Schneider at Active Voice regarding this project and hope to share our knowledge.
