While there have been many webinars on the COVID-19 crisis and potential rescue funds for filmmakers, how does the pandemic change the prospects for independent filmmakers of color from this point on?

This week we will hear from some distribution and exhibition folks who have been dealing with our changed reality and have some ideas that may help filmmakers going forward - and next week we will hear from a few makers who are having to meet these challenges right now as they release films.

Join us on May 5th at 6:30 PM to hear from Jessica Green, Carlos A. Gutiérrez, and DeShuna Spencer.
