If you’re based in the NYC area or planning on being in town this Saturday, June 9 at Noon, I’m taking part in a new initiative for the Brooklyn Film Festival. The BFF Exchange presents free panels and networking events to bring together filmmakers and industry representatives.
I’m one of the panelists for the Documentary Pitch Session, in which four groups of filmmakers will present footage and a brief pitch for their works-in-progress. Representatives from POV, Chicken and Egg Pictures, and more will provide constructive feedback.
Later in the afternoon, BFF Exchange hosts a panel on distribution, featuring representatives from Zeitgeist Films, SnagFilms, and FilmBuff. A happy hour brings the event to a close after a presentation by Funave. All events take place at Williamsburg’s indieScreen – for more info click on the link in the first paragraph.
