Don’t Get Screwed!
Scott Garner — Tuesday, October 10th, 2006
Fans of Film Independent’s Producer Series take note: the Series has gone the way of cheap gas and winning post-season Dodgers teams, having been relegated to the ashcan of history.
Fear not, however. Replacing the time worn, slightly irrelevant Producer Series is the exciting new Filmmaker Forum, which aims to give independent filmmakers the tools they need to make a film and find distribution for it.
Held at the Hammer Museum over three days, from October 26-28, 2006, the Forum will feature panels, presentations, and networking (natch!) geared towards the independent filmmaker. As an added bonus, the program will kick off with a sneak preview of Catch a Fire, the latest film from Phillip Noyce, who will be on hand for a Q&A following the screening.
For more information, including rates and participants, visit the Film Independent website. Also, stay tuned to indieBlog for news, updates, and reports from the Forum.

$490 to maybe hear some information that might make a difference - assuming you pay no attention to the wealth of independent filmmaking information out there already? heck, the seminars at afm are only $35 and don’t require an afm badget to attend.

Oh! How very clever of you, Chris! Two thumbs up on the italics!
Looks like someone is pissed they didn’t think of this first…
Seriously, don’t be a negative butthead. It’s unbecoming.

what’s unbecoming is anonymous ad hominen attacks.

Sorry, that was me. This internet thing can be tricky.

Ah, the internets, home of reasoned debate - or in this case, screaming flame wars.
I love controversy as much as the next guy, and fully support the free exchange of ideas (that’s what blogs are supposed to be about - unless they’re just another vehicle for Adsense). That’s why I enabled anonymous comments. Sometimes there are legitimate reasons for concealing your true indentity online.
That’s why we won’t go to TypeKey, or some other lame enforcement method - yet. Hopefully we won’t have to, as long as we don’t start attacking each other.
Best,
Scott
