VENUE #3: TRACY MEMORIAL VILLAGE HALL

Now, innovative production and distribution technologies are enabling a new wave of independent filmmakers with little money and few connections to create and distribute their own films. Join our panelists in a lively discussion of the changes going on in the film industry. Learn more.
