E.T., the Stolen Extraterrestrial?

Please join the Independent Film Circle for our next guest, Prof. Sudipto Shankar Roy, on Saturday, April 30th at 11am EST. You might first want to watch his jaw-dropping documentary, “Ordeal of an Impossible Dream” below.

Like Spielberg? All about E.T.? Or maybe you’re a screenwriter like me who feels infuriatingly certain that one of your scripts was once blatanly stolen? Get ready to have the top of your head blown off.

As always, this live, online event is free but pregregistration is required. Message me if you’d like to join.

Subha’s Back!

So glad to be welcoming Subha Das Mollick (again!) to her 2nd documentary talk to the Independent Film Circle, this time on the topic of Satyajit Ray’s documentaries. Her first session a few weeks ago was absolutely amazing.

Message me privately if you would like to join this free event, we’d love to have you.
