9:00pm Writing For Isolation: The Phenomenon Of Criminal

with George Kay
moderated by Bob Schultz

In the last decade, the industry has swooped and swerved seemingly at random. Streaming platforms replaced physical media and locally-held properties. Budgets swelled out of control as cinematic universes replaced stand-alone features.

At the other end of the spectrum, a micro-budget revolution inspired the truly creative-minded to innovate and find exciting ways to tell their stories for a worldwide market.
