The IF Workshop

IF you have an idea, this event is the next step to making your film. The IF Workshop, presented by Cedar Rapids Independent Filmmakers. Take the next step: transcend being an aspiring filmmaker, BECOME a filmmaker, or raise the bar on your next project—right here in Iowa. Whether you’re brand new to the camera, a dedicated hobbyist looking to polish your skills, or a life-long learning professional eager to gain new strategies and network, this day is for you.
Join us for a fun, focused afternoon of conversation, networking, and sessions designed to take your skills to the next level. For 2026, a session with a professional screenwriter (David Matalon, Totally Killer, 2023) covering how to prep your screenplay to be ready for all the people that need to engage with it and hold their interest. A second session about scaling your production to fit the budget and resources you have available led by Mediaverse Studios.
