The multitude of pathways that can be taken in post-production can be a minefield for many filmmakers. Taking the wrong turn can be time consuming, frustrating and most of all expensive. With the introduction of new technologies, many new and exciting possibilities have arisen, however, they also come with their own set of parameters and pitfalls. Drawing on their vast experiences, our industry professionals will discuss new pathways, the funding process for post-production, common mistakes, neglected issues and misconceptions as well as provide insight and hints on this critical period of production. The panel will consist of Julia Overton, Documentary Investment Manager at the Film Finance Corp, Andrew Plain, Sound Designer and Sound Supervisor from Huzzah Sound, Jeff McDonald, Managing Director of the post-production company Magnet Post. The panel will be available for questions at the conclusion of the discussion.
