Co-hosts Jon Fusco, Emily Buder, and yours truly, Liz Nord bring you to the mountains of Colorado and the canals of Venice for indie news and likely Oscar contenders from the influential Telluride and Biennale Film Festivals. We also venture to Amsterdam for new toys from the big IBC gear show, discuss Canon’s highly-anticipated release of the C700 cinema camera, and talk about what the iPhone 7’s updated camera features—including a 12 megapixel sensor and 4K shooting capabilities—might mean for filmmakers. As always, the show also includes our Ask No Film School segment (this week: how to plan your film’s festival rollout), plus grant and festival deadlines, gear news, upcoming indie film releases, and other notable things you might have missed while you were busy making films.
