Filmmaker Pipeline Vol. 04: World-Builders

Genre storytelling, fandom and owning your IP. World-Builders brings voices from the Blerd community together to talk about building worlds, characters and audiences that last. Then roll up your sleeves for a hands-on workshop: take one idea and map it into a series, a podcast, merch and a community.

This is for writers, directors, artists and creators who want their ideas to live beyond a single project, and who want to own what they build.

What you'll walk away with

• A framework for turning one idea into multiple products and revenue streams
• Practical guidance on protecting and owning your IP
• Insight into how fandoms form and how to build one around your work
• Resources and next steps for your own world
• Connections with genre creators and collaborators
