Priority to pass holders. Please arrive early as these events will quickly fill up. While the Slamdance Film Festival is mostly about emerging directors with unique visions and small means to get them on screen and seen, Slamdance is also about community, collaboration and the exchange of information and ideas to further the very independent director's experience and career. I cannot think of two better individuals for Slamdance filmmakers to have coffee with than musician/filmmaker Neil Young and writer/director/producer Jonathan Demme who both command the kind of careers and artistic paths Slamdance directors aspire to. They've come to Slamdance to share their knowledge and experience in the film world with the Slamdance class of 2012 ~ Paul Rachman
