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 any pass or individual ticket grants entry.
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 Thursday, Friday and Saturday to attend any film screenings and panels/workshops that day.
