LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes

If you are interested in doing a brief, informal presentation on what you consider to be best practices in audience engagement, community development, and DIY/DWO distribution in a round table format, we can still accomodate. You must be willing to give a presentation in order to attend.

There may be opportunity for filmmakers to present via Skype or FaceTime for those unable to attend in person, however, in-person attendance is preferred. Participation is limited to filmmakers who will contribute. TFC will summarize the learnings and communicate them after the summit.

Please message Kathy Susca if you are interested in participating.
