Independent Film Week- NYC September 2008

Aron and I just returned from Independent Film Week (IFP Market) in New York City. For the filmmakers out there, you NEED to attend this week when your film is close to ready. There were 75 documentary films chosen for this week. We had the opportunity to meet with key film festival programmers and distributors. One on one meetings are arranged with industry professionals who are interested in your film. We came to NYC with a number of meetings and then had just as many side meetings while we were there.

One of the highlights of the week was meeting other filmmakers who were accomplished in their own right and were working hard on some amazing projects as well.

For a few years now, other filmmakers told us we should apply to IFW. I now know why so many people talk about IFW. This week will not only benefit The Way We Get By but also our future projects!

Rough Cut is MOVING FORWARD

We are working hard on refining the rough cut for the film and making it stronger (and shorter). We will be showing our advisers another cut of the film at the end of the week. The meetings so far have been incredibly inspiring and we are looking forward to showing you it soon! Make sure to check back for updates on rough cut screenings near you!
