Director Series (February-March 2008)
Mark your calendars for our annual Director Series, where you'll be able to hear today's most influential independent directors and their collaborators as they reveal the secrets of their craft. On February 20, we will kick off our series with "The Independent Spirit: A Director's Round Table", a conversation with 2008 Spirit Awards nominees.
