Filmmaking 2.0 – Powering a Future for Indie Films

This session will explore how indie films foster innovative storytelling, reach more diverse audiences, and create new stars. We’ll explore the latest technologies and financing opportunities helping more indie films get made, as well as new models facilitating independent production and how cinemas are becoming key players in distribution.

The team behind “Those About to Die”, “Time Bandits” and the forthcoming “2040” will share how realtime tools and virtual production are democratising access to indie filmmakers. Learn how these innovations enhance creative possibilities and productive value all while streamlining and cutting costs.

• Who: Dimension and DNEG 360’s Executive Producer Ben Lumsden, alongside Miles Perkins from Epic Games, Annalise Davis, Producer of “2040”, and Lesley Manning Director of “2040”.

We’re looking forward to heading back to the Lone Star State–not just for the BBQ and Tex-Mex, but to connect with global industry leaders and fellow creatives. Whether you’re attending SXSW in person or following the event from afar, keep an eye out for our updates.
