A Conversation with Documentary Subjects Monday, September 16th, 2013 2:15PM - 3:00PM

The director is at the helm of a story about someone’s real life, but when the film is released, subjects are called upon to answer questions as though it is just a movie. How do filmmakers manage the long-tail of film promotion with their characters, and how are their lives impacted? Hear from these creative pairs about how each others' work affects a film.
