About this Event

Queens World hosts the Filmmakers Breakfast, a peer-to-peer gathering built for authentic conversation and community. Attending filmmakers will sit alongside industry professionals including Anita Raswant (Lead Programmer, Nantucket & DOCNYC), Katrina Medoff (Co-Executive Director & Co-Founder, Moonshot Initiative), and Brian F. Lee (City National Bank), who will help spark the first question of the morning.

Over coffee and a complimentary breakfast at Sac’s Place, located in the restored former commissary of Kaufman Astoria Studios, where actors from the silent and early talking film era dined between takes, we’ll dive into the challenges and opportunities facing independent film: balancing art and commerce, navigating production hurdles, building outreach and collaborative networks, experimenting with distribution, and imagining what comes next for our field.
