Indie Memphis & Crosstown Arts are excited to welcome filmmaker and author Robert Gordon for a conversation on documentary filmmaking. Mr. Gordon (BEST OF ENEMIES, RESPECT YOURSELF) will discuss various facets of documentary filmmaking, from the creative like crafting a compelling story to the practicalities of distribution and deals. This event provides a great opportunity to learn from an experienced professional in documentary filmmaking. The conversation will be moderated by filmmaker Molly Wexler.
