I would like to see the Q&A's with filmmakers. Do I need to buy an all-access pass for this?

Not at all. The Q&A's are part of the screening for films, so all you can purchase any pass to attend the Q&A's.

I would like to attend the Friday workshop. What ticket should I purchase?

Our workshop is available to ONLY individuals who purchase a pass (All Access Pass, One-day, or Full Screening Pass).

What do I get if I purchase a One-day Pass?

A One-Day Pass gives you a choice between Friday and Saturday to attend any film screenings that day. Because Thursday and Sunday are shorter days, we only offer access for indivial tickets, All-access Passes and Full Screening Passes.
