Why the Judges Cried at Cannes & Canon's Leaked Camera [PODCAST]

In this episode of Indie Film Weekly: an affordable new camera from Canon that might top the C300, and our field report from the 70th Cannes Film Festival.

Jon Fusco, Emily Buder, and yours truly, Liz Nord reveal the film that got Jessica Chastain and Pedro Almodovar teary-eyed at Cannes, and a lot more about the best and worst of the world's pre-eminent film festival from this year. We also discuss Canon's latest offering—a camera whose specs were leaked ahead of this week's Cine Gear Expo in Los Angeles. In Ask No Film School, we share some tips on finding a job in the film industry.

As always, the show also brings news you can use about gear, upcoming grant and festival deadlines, this week’s indie film releases, and other notable things you might have missed while you were busy making films.
