A longtime staple of the LA Film Festival, our Coffee Talks series has brought together filmmakers in lively, fascinating, freewheeling conversations for years. Now, we’ve relaunched the series online so you can join in and enjoy your coffee with other filmmakers at home around the world.

This week we’re pleased to be joined by filmmaker and Film Independent Fellow Justin Simien, creator of Dear White People and writer/director of the upcoming Bad Hair. He’s joined by director Janicza Bravo (Zola, Lemon, Atlanta) for an hour of stimulating conversation and Q&A with Members.

Coffee Talks events are open to all Film Independent Members. If you’re a Film Lover or Arts Circle Member, you’ll be invited to register in advance.
