Las Vegas, Nevada - The Fourth Annual Financial Literacy Film Festival is just around the corner, and organizers are excited to unveil the details of the highly anticipated event.
Scheduled for April 30th, 2023, from 4-7 pm Invite Only at the Taverna Costera, with Live Entertainment by DJ Ralph this year's festival’s goal is to"Break the Stigma of Talking About Money."
The Financial Literacy Film Festival is an event designed to promote financial literacy through the medium of film. This year's festival features the highly acclaimed short film, GUNPOINT, as its centerpiece. The film is a dark comedy written and directed by Bill Marsilii.
In addition to the film screening, this year's festival is proud to welcome two special guests. Bill Marsilii, the celebrated screenwriter of the hit film, "Deja Vu," who
has submitted his project to the festival this year.
As well as Keynote speaker, Kelly Schwarze is an Emmy Award recipient filmmaker, author, and entrepreneur who has successfully produced and directed eight feature films, three documentaries, and many TV commercials.
“Today maybe more than any other time in our lives Financial Literacy may be the difference between a successful life and a life of struggle.”says John Duffy a producer, writer, and sponsor of the Festival “Take control of your Finances so you can succeed”.
The CNBC states “A report from the National Financial Educators Council shows that 38% of individuals in a recent survey said their lack of financial literacy cost them at least $500 in 2022, including 15% who said it set them back by $10,000 or more. That’s up from about 11% in 2021.”
These statistics are frightening although the FinLit Festival aims to reduce these numbers. The festival is graciously sponsored by SPCKRFT, Impact Releasing, Taverna Costera, Indie Film Factory, and Fulton Film Company.
There will be food, drinks, and networking opportunities for attendees before and after the screening.

One of the most crucial things one can do when making the jump from working for someone to working for yourself is building a network of clients. This can be gradual as you build your portfolio and clientele. Networking is important—even when you work for yourself. If you create a good name for yourself and your work through your current clients, you’ll be able to build on that. Get your name out there!
Define Your Rate
Okay, you have some clients—now what? Defining your rate (and sticking to it) is crucial to making the jump to full-time freelance. Freelance rates are a heavily debated topic, as your experience level will depend on how much you should charge. With that being said, sometimes you’ll have to compromise with certain clients (especially starting out), but once you’ve become established, it will be easier to navigate and put your foot down with a set rate. Here’s an article that will help you calculate your rate.
Maintain A Regular Schedule
Most people who work freelance prefer it because they’re able to have a flexible schedule—working when they choose. This appeals to many who want to work outside of a traditional 9-to-5. However, when you make the jump to full-time, it’s crucial to maintain some kind of regular schedule. As your work life and personal life become more blended, you should aim to maintain a sense of when you’re “in office” and “out of office” in order to create boundaries for yourself and your work. Sometimes this includes working on weekends. The good thing is that it’s up to you!
Keep Track of Invoices & Costs
You’re building your clientele, you’ve set your rate, and you’re maintaining a regular schedule. The next thing you want to do is keep track of your invoices, as you (typically) are your own accountant. Using invoice tracking software can help you see your month-to-month income and stay organized when adding up fees. It’ll also be able to help you see how your negotiated rate can really add up!
Maintain an Online Presence
Your online presence is more and more important these days for self-promoting your work, but it especially is if you work for yourself and need to meet new clients. Their impression of you is most likely to start by your online presence, whether it’s your Twitter, Instagram, website, or all of the above. This goes hand-in-hand with the service you’re providing too. If you’re solely a freelance photographer, Instagram may be the main route for you to showcase your work. If you’re a writer, you may want to have both a website of links to your writing and also stay active on Twitter so potential clients can immediately see your writing tone.
Prepare for Unpredictability
The freelance world is one of flexibility—but also unpredictability. The economy’s changing landscape comes with perks like working from home and if you’re full-time freelance, working when you want and how you want. However, this goes hand in hand with some months being more fruitful than others. By nature, your workload and income can change each month. With that being said, you’ll have to be fully prepared for ebbs and flows, but that’s just part of the process. As you shape your own work days, prepare for freedom but also buck up, because now you are your own boss.
