REFRAME
No Such Thing as a Lockoff

Speakers include producer Andrew Mason (The Matrix Trilogy, The Water Diviner) and editor Matt Villa ASE (The Great Gatsby, Predestination) who will share their insights and personal experiences through case studies on recent projects with a focus on post-production.
Admission price includes lunch – an opportunity to network with the panel & other guests.
