Mumblecore movies are inherently small. Their cast, crew, budget, scope: everything about the enterprise is small. This can alienate as much as it can inspire: one person’s fascination is another’s boredom. But these films also capture moments that speak to larger themes and a potentially larger audience. But will they ever get there? And should they? Are small films like these intrinsically limited to a small audience, and are they therefore better suited for the small screen? A panel of mumblecore filmmakers will discuss the implications of their work and the challenges and potential of the ultra-low budget filmmaking process. The panel will feature directors Joe Swanberg, Aaron Katz, Frank V. Ross, and Barry Jenkins.
