The What:

Money. Talent. Contacts. Luck. These are just some of the things you need to succeed as an independent filmmaker. And while the luck is up to you, this Forum will deliver the tangible information you need to help you acquire the others.

Over the course of three days, you'll learn the lay of the land and get straight talk about the realities of filmmaking—from how to choose the rep and distributor that's right for you to how much to pay, what markets exist for your film, and which distribution companies can help you. You'll leave with an in-depth analysis of today's film industry and insight on where it's heading tomorrow.
