Independent Film Week is here again thanks to IFP (Independent Film Project). The conference "gives emerging and established writers, directors, producers, and creators the opportunity to explore the art and business of 21st century storytelling." Attending the entire conference is impossible for most, so thankfully IFP is live streaming some of the talks and also posting them online. Click through to check those out and also see the rest of the live schedule for this week.
James Schamus (CEO Focus Features) and Christine Vachon (co-founder Killer Films):
J.C. Chandor, director of Margin Call :
When the rest of the talks are online this post will be updated. The other talks that will be presented live are as follows:
- Michel Reilhac (Transmedia Producer)- Wednesday, September 19th @ 10AM ET
- Orlando Bagwell (Ford Foundation)- Thursday, September 20th @ 10AM ET
IFP is also working to post new videos to their YouTube channel, and many of these are geared towards specific topics in filmmaking -- whether that be directing, producing, writing, marketing, etc. There is a particularly interesting conversation with producer Ted Hope and the team of filmmakers from Borderline Films who have helped each other's careers in different ways.
