Munroe Kicks Off NewFest Panel Sessions

On Friday, day two of NewFest, award-winning filmmaker Roberta Marie Munroe took the stage at the SVA theatres for a no-holds-barred workshop to kick off the NewFest 2009 industry panel sessions. Munroe shared the secrets of making exceptionally entertaining, high-quality short films to an audience of NewFest attendees fixated on her every word. The 90-minute interactive session was full of invaluable insight into the daunting task of creating short films.

The audience got a first-hand look into Munroe’s filmmaking style as she touched on all stages of production — everything from script development to post production and distribution. By focusing on what filmmakers should NOT do, Monroe was able to connect with the audience and leave an imprint of the things all filmmakers should watch out for while putting a film together.

With her charm and directorial skill in full display, Munroe got audience members to share valuable insight with each other. At the end of the workshop, attendees walked away with information that will empower them as they seek to grow their careers in the entertainment industry.
