As a Project:Involve fellow at Film Independent, I attended its Filmmaker Forum this weekend at the DGA, the walls of which are decorated with photos of directors I admire. At the event, I spoke to
John August (writer of
Corpse Bride and
Big Fish),
producer of Juno,
COO of Lionsgate, top agents, trailblazers of digital media, and socially conscious docu-filmmakers. I also heard
producers of The Last Emperor and Little Miss Sunshine speak.
Unexpectedly, I ran into my directing teacher at UCLA, an ex-co-worker who's a wonderful line producer,
and my high school classmate who's a smart, knowledgeable
casting director of Inglourious Basterds. How funny? What a small world!
