Ina is joined by Keya, the festival’s new director and three-time Emmy-nominated casting executive, director, and producer who also runs Mason Castle Productions.
🚗 Sam takes us down the road of policy and cultural change, with her production company Millennial Ethics and publication Route 24, creating original films and campaigns to spark intergenerational conversations.
📺 Hosts Katie and Janine break down the Tubi and Kickstarter crossover and the big opportunities it could bring to indie filmmakers.
