For about the last ten years, I've been writing about innovation for publications like the Boston Globe, the New York Times, Wired, Variety, Fast Company, the Hollywood Reporter, Salon.com, BusinessWeek, and Newsweek. I helped start (and continue to help run) three conferences: Future Forward, the Nantucket Conference on Entrepreneurship & Innovation, and Convergence: The Life Sciences Leaders Forum. I also often speak and moderate at other people's conferences, and serve as a commentator on TV and radio. (Which beats actual work.) You can reach me by e-mailing kirsner - at- pobox.com.

Hi Jason-
These events are one way to learn about how "traditional" film financing works. They're not free, but they are informative (I've spoken at one or two in San Francisco and Palo Alto.)
But I agree with you that it might be smart to buy a camera first. ;)
