In Advisor Studio sessions, Sundance Collab Advisors share field experiences and insights into their specific areas of craft, including writing, directing and producing for TV and film. 


Artists spend much of their time concentrating on the creative aspect of their job and can find money matters intimidating. Join Aliza Shvarts, Director of Artist Initiatives with Creative Capital and Tamara Bates, a financial advisor and founder of The Dots Between, in a discussion on financial planning for creatives. They will help explain the ins and outs of financial planning and assist you to plan for your future.
