306 - Sundance About Face and Preparing For The Film Pitch - (Indie Talk)


Listen Later

Hello, Hello!

 

It’s an Indie Talk week, and Chris and Nick have a conversation about the about-face of Sundance on the festival acceptance turned rejection of the Meg Smaker documentary, ‘Jihad Rehab,’ fake Twitter fights, the bombast and publicity genius of Ye (formerly Kanye West), and we break down what we learned from the Nashville Film Festival pitch contest and provide the tactics, tools, and tips on how to present a successful pitch. Enjoy!
