Lone Star: John Sayles and the Changing Landscape for Independent Cinema
Declarations of Independence: John Sayles Symposium
Sayles never sought assistance from Hollywood to create his films. His first film, produced for $60,000, helped to write the textbook of how to make a film in the contemporary age when big ideas combine with a shoe string budget. This panel of friends, cohorts and collaborators of Sayles share how their collective careers began and how the industry has changed and changed them in the process.
