Mumblecore and More features a new genre of filmmakers who are challenging the traditional Hollywood movie scene.
Joe Swanberg (
Kissing on the Mouth, Hannah Takes the Stairs), Susan Buice (
Four Eyed Monsters) and Kris Williams (
Young American Bodies) come together with host Steve Weiss to discuss the Mumblecore film movement.
In Cast 2, this creative and innovative new generation of filmmakers discuss the demands of breaking the barriers of the mainstream “Hollywood” independent film industry, staying true to your art, and finding non-traditional ways of film distribution such as the Internet and Video on Demand. The round table of directors elaborate on the dynamics of creating micro-film communities throughout numerous social networking sites and the use of viral marketing plans and screening rooms to engage audiences and build a legend of fans.
