The Creative Power of Setbacks: How to Survice the Brave New World of Film – With Michael Polle

A keen observer of the changes transforming the film industry, Michael Polle will share his insights into how producing is evolving, what has helped him secure substantial budgets — and what to do when the budget simply isn’t enough (which, of course, it never is). Candid and unfiltered insights for the next generation guaranteed.
