Description

After years working as a screenwriter and TV producer in Los Angeles and New York, Rebecca Reynolds will talk about how she took a leap of faith with partners Jim Carpenter and Larry Brand to start 8180 Films, an indie film company based in Leland, Michigan. Sharing clips and anecdotes from 8180 Films’ three award-winning features (“Christina,” “The Coexist Comedy Tour,” “The Girl on the Train”) and their upcoming performance documentary (“Beyond Glory”), Reynolds and Carpenter will divide the workshop into three sections: Our Story—how 8180 Films got started; Your Story—attendees share their own challenges; and Next Story—how to take your own leap and produce an indie film.
