SXSW 2012

Back in the day, independent films were known for pushing the boundaries on depiction's of sexuality. But where do we stand today? A panel of filmmakers will discuss that line, along with thoughts on how a current crop of creators can embrace and highlight sexuality in their own works.

The panel will consider several key questions. Among them:
· Where is "the line" in terms of what sexuality can be easily presented in indie film?
· Is it possible to depict sex in a way that enhances the narrative rather than disrupts it?
· How do I work with my cast/subjects, and also my crew, to create an environment where everyone feels safe -- yet where I still get the images I need?
· Are there any considerations for potential distribution I should keep in mind?
· And, of course, the all important… “What will my mother think?”!!
