Notable filmmakers and casting directors will discuss the process of independent filmmaking at "Made in NY" Talks: Excellence in Indie Filmmaking on August 13th, 2013. The event will be held at the Baruch Performing Arts Center- Engelman Recital Hall Theater (55 Lexington Avenue) and is free and open to the public.
