Slamdance 2015: ScreenAnarchy Wraps It Up

While I couldn't get to everything playing at Treasure Mountain Inn, I did make sure to highlight as many films as I could with my Meet The Filmmakers series and Slamdance Curtain Raiser, which includes audience favorite Clinger and Grand Jury Documentary winner Sweet Mickey For President.

What I did get a chance to review was some of the best films playing in Park City, including Britni West's Grand Jury Narrative winner Tired Moonlight, Gabrielle Demeestere's Yosemite, Perry Blackshear's They Look Like People, and Maurizius Staerkle Drux's Concrete Love. Full reviews are linked below.

One thing that Slamdance does like no other fest is community cultivating. From Coffee with James Franco, to their legal advice hours, these intimate events allow young filmmakers to get a first hand perspective on the industry. This year saw a daily series of Igloo summits, where visiting filmmakers could pow-wow with industry experts on all sorts of topics. Here I am, on the far left, about to start a talk about how press and filmmakers can cultivate relationships at fests and beyond.
