Filmmaker Conference 2009 – Whats the Deal – Filmmaking 2.0

With the DVD business on life support and pre-sales drying up, what does a typical “sale” look like and how does it differ from what buyers might have been able to offer just last year?

Moderator:

Panelists:
Chris Holland, Director of Festival Operations – B-Side Entertainment
Christian Vesper, Head of Acquisitions – Sundance/IFC
