I was in attendance this weekend at the Film Independent's Filmmaker Forum. I got a full press pass from a friend and checked out out the panels. Many of the information has been publicly cited in the blog scene and publications for some time now, but the tone of the forum was a little different. Also, hearing it from people heavily involved in the Indiewood scene is a little different then second and third hand journalistic blog reporting.
All in all, most of the panelist were talking about the state of affairs as cyclic, and that the upswing was just around the corner.
I also met some very interesting people, all with different stages of project development. There was also a panel on Micro Budget Films that was very cool.
