About

Walk through all aspects of filmmaking and distribution with documentary filmmaker Brandon Vedder in this FREE workshop! Every project is different and takes its own unique path from pre-production, production, and post, to festivals, to release, and beyond. Brandon will draw on his successes (and mistakes) while making the following four major film projects:

La Source (2012) Producer, Co- Cinematographer & Co-Editor
A Certain Kind of Light (2015) Director, Cinematographer, Editor
In Pursuit of Silence (2017) Producer, Co-Cinematographer
Strange Negotiations (In Post) Director, Producer, Editor, Cinematographer

After a short breakdown of his experiences on these projects, Brandon will open the floor for a Q&A, after which there will be a 30-minute break before the 7:30pm (ticketed) screening of In Pursuit of Silence.
