Even though Youtube, Facebook and Kickstarter have dramatically changed the entertainment landscape, the same question needs to be answered: How does the Indy/Outsider filmmaker engage the right kinds of legal support and the right producer? Food and beverages provided.

She spent seven years in Europe as a senior executive for American Playhouse/Playhouse International Pictures, charged with securing European and Japanese financing for American independent films and TV dramas.

A longtime advocate of independent filmmakers, she founded the Independent Feature Project and IFP Market; co-founded First Run Features; served as one of the first nominators to the Sundance Filmmakers Lab, and, for five years, as a member of the Sundance Film Festival Advisory Committee.
