SCHEDULE UNLIMITED INDIELINK SESSIONS NOW. EMAIL reservations@filmindependent.org FOR AN UPDATED GRID.

The Forum offers unique opportunities to network and meet and greet with prominent professionals in the film industry.

Network, network, network! During the panel discussions, representatives from film commissions, funding organizations, production companies, production services, post-production services, film festivals, and film markets, sales agents, publicists, producers' reps, and distributors will be available for 10 minute meetings in the atrium.

IndieLink Sign-ups commence on SEPTEMBER 30th. DO NOT miss this opportunity to schedule your IndieLink sessions!!! Each forum attendee may schedule two sessions. You must be a Filmmaker Forum pass holder to schedule IndieLink sessions.

HOW TO SIGN UP?

Starting September 30th at 10:00am through October 2 at 5:00pm, you may email reservations@filmindependent.org and request a schedule grid. Once you've received the grid, email reservations with your top four IndieLink choices in order of preference along with your top four time preferences. Reservations will reply with the status of your request or a confirmation note. All bookings are on a first come, first serve basis UNTIL you receive your confirmation email.

The remaining IndieLink sessions may be scheduled at the DGA during the registration process on October 9th unless all spaces have been filled.

After you have confirmed your IndieLink times, please make a note of them. No reminders will be sent. You must arrive at the DGA Atrium 10 minutes prior to your scheduled times. There are no late arrivals. On the day of each IndieLink, there will be a stand-by line outside the Atrium. No show spaces will be filled with the stand-by line.

For additional questions, please call 310-432-1222 or email reservations@filmindependent.org.

Please note: If, after emailing reservations with your top choices, reservations replies with an attached grid, it means that your choices were unavailable and you must select four more choices based on the updated grid's availability.
