The inherent divide between the interests of festivals and filmmakers

Welcome to Frankly Festivals, a new podcast that explores the ecosystem of film events and filmmakers, in an attempt to demystify each others’ pressures and interests, in order to foster greater cooperation, understanding, and a stronger industry.

This month, Jon & Bart speak with Lela Meadow-Conner, creative producer of “Chasing Chasing Amy”, former Executive Director of Film Festival Alliance, the co-creator of the Tallgrass Film Festival, and creator of the mamafilm microcinema and multi-city film series, and Geoff Marslett, award winning filmmaker of “Mars,” “Monkey vs. Robot,” and “Quantum Cowboys,” and teacher at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and the University of Texas Austin.

Hosted by Jon Gann and Bart Weiss.
