Join us for the first event in this three-part series that will focus on ultra micro-budget productions. Each event will feature in-depth conversations with the teams behind successful films made with passion, dedication and determination, on shoestring budgets.

On Tuesday, March 18, the creative team behind the Spirit Award-winning 7 Days will discuss making films on a tight budget and navigating the producer/director relationship to build a functional schedule while maintaining creative vision.

Featuring:
Liz Cardenas (producer; 7 Days, Never Goin’ Back)
Roshan Sethi (writer/director, 7 Days; director, A Nice Indian Boy)
Karan Soni (writer/star, 7 Days; producer/star, A Nice Indian Boy)

The event will be lead by Felix Werner (CEO, Modern Media Company).

Felix Werner works as an independent media financier, producer, distributor and director. He designed Modern Media Company to have the ability to produce content in a wide variety of styles, formats and budgets, with the goal of shepherding them from development through the distribution and marketing process. His latest venture, HieronyVision, is a new creative ecosystem for independent movies, music and art. It also features a microbudget incubator program to help launch young filmmakers.

Felix’s interest in film goes back to early childhood. He grew up surrounded and inspired by noted European and Hollywood artists. His career began in the Education and Film Departments of the L.A.
