Creative execution is only half the battle; the other half is figuring out how to pay for it. Join us in Austin during SXSW for a straightforward discussion on the logistics of creative project financing. Whether you are a creative funding a project, a lawyer navigating contracts, or an accountant managing the books, this session is for you.

We’ll be breaking down the legal realities of securing investors, the strategic risks of self-funding, and the mechanics of a successful crowdfunding campaign. Our panel will also address the often-overlooked tax implications that can derail a budget if not planned for early.

Come grab a drink, have some food, and connect with a community dedicated to helping creators get their best work off the ground.

Speakers: Vincent Tomasino (Enrolled Agent at Miles Edwards CPA), Dustin Williams (Associate General Counsel - Commercial, Creators, & IP at Patreon), and Alyce Zawacki (Founding Attorney at Alyce Zawacki Law, PLLC - Attorneys for Creatives)

Hosted By: The Entertainment & Sports Law Section of the State Bar of Texas; The Entertainment & Sports Law Section of the Austin Bar Association; and Texas Accountants & Lawyers for the Arts
