Description

If you ever wondered what REALLY goes on at big talent agencies and on the sets of your favorite movies, if you wonder if making it in entertainment is actually about who you know, if those nightmares about nasty certain studio execs are true, you're curious what on earth a key grip does, you want to hear stories about Joe Pesci, Steven Spielberg, Steven Seagal and more, this is for you. And if you like My Cousin Vinny, well, just wait!

Jon Fitzgerald is a widely respected person in the independent film industry. He is a film festival guru -- he co-created the Slamdance Film Festival, reinvigorated and ran the prestigious AFI Film Festival, and is an in-demand consultant for filmmakers and film festivals. He teaches master classes on topics like filmmaking for change and movie marketing.

Jon has also produced award-winning documentaries and founded Ca use Pictures, a company that helps filmmakers create and distribute their films about socially relevant stories.

So, he knows what’s up. And you’re about to, as well. I sat down with Jon recently in his office in LA so we can give you a close-up, behind-the-scenes look at the filmmaking industry. Let's go!
