The How:

Case studies. Blueprints on how to get it done, by those who've done it. You'll get them here. Insightful, informative Case Studies that have been put together exclusively for this Forum—and are worth the price of admission alone!

Each study details the making of many of this year's independent movies, case by case, by the filmmakers who made it happen. These studies reveal the films' budget deals, financing, distribution strategies, final results, awards, and the experience each filmmaker had on the project. They offer a wealth of tangible insight and they are only available to participants of this Forum. These case studies will be resources you can carry with you as you start your journey to filmmaking success.

Previous case studies include: D.E.B.S., Head Trauma, I am a Sex Addict, Junebug, Nine Lives, One Six Right, Our Very Own, The Puffy Chair, Sir! No Sir!, Thank You For Smoking, This Film is Not Yet Rated, Waterborne, Wordplay, Cabin Fever, Napoleon Dynamite, Thirteen, and Born into Brothels.
