Life for the independent filmmaker can be a constant hustle. After you’ve raised financing to make your short or feature, you hustle to get into a festival, hustle to find a buyer and then it’s back to square-one. So, how can you take it to the next level? If you’re a tyro writer, what’s the best route to securing an agent or getting into a writer’s room? How do you leverage that Best Short Film award into a gig as a director for hire? If you’ve managed to to raise $75K, what’s the best use of those funds that will propel your career forward?

Film Independent is pleased to welcome former studio and network president Tom Nunan, who is now a successful feature and TV producer (Executive Producer of the Oscar-winning Best Picture Crash, among many others). Nunan will answer these burning questions and many more in an open discussion format.
