Five filmmakers share their most insane stories about filmmaking.

Panelists:

She had plans to earn degrees in English and Journalism, before turning her focus to Film Studies in 2013 after attending her first Horror Convention. Being a lifelong horror fan she had spent most of her spare time watching horror movies and learning everything she could from special features and commentaries. Based on all that she learned from films and gracious filmmakers throughout the years, she decided to try her hand at her own short film. Hooker Assassin (2016) is the first short film that Misty directed, wrote and produced. She is currently developing a few story ideas into scripts and intends to keep telling stories about real people in extraordinary situations.
