Join us for an in-depth conversation with key members of production and post-production below the line crews. As we highlight and celebrate these often unsung roles, we’ll ask how do you build a sustainable career across independent and commercial projects, from micro to big budgets? What are the benefits and pitfalls of working consistently with the same filmmakers? Why is training and supporting emerging talent essential to the industry’s future? And what role do festivals and film markets play in building lasting professional networks?
