Cinema is at a crossroads. With changes in production tools, the evolving world of exhibition, the potential to virtually connect with collaborators and audiences, and the increasing competitiveness between states to recruit out-of-state production, there have never been more opportunities and challenges producing films outside the commercial centers of Los Angeles and New York. Moderated by Scott Macaulay, film producer and Editor-in-Chief of Filmmaker Magazine, this panel will survey the landscape of regional filmmaking with five experienced directors and producers.
