The Business: Collaboration in Indie Filmmaking
Ever wondered how a film is lifted from page to screen? Or how a narrative can be strengthened in the editing process? For every great film, there is an A-team of behind-the-scenes collaborators, from an excellent cinematographer, to a visionary director, a gifted film editor and more. These are the collaborators - the non-actors who are making the scenes on the screen work for an audience. Spend an evening learning about the moving parts of filmmaking and the team that makes it possible. Learn what it takes to make a great film on a limited budget through the process of collaboration and creative problem solving.
The following topics will be explored:
*How to identify collaborators that jive with your style and mission
*Best practices for effective communication (finding shared language), and providing constructive feedback
*Generating goals and ideas as a team
*Developing a productive workflow
*Positive conflict resolution
Panel includes Sabine Hoffman, Max Avery Lichtenstein, Patrick Wang, Nicholas Greene and Eric Lin. Moderated by Greg Takoudes.
