About this Event
In today’s highly partisan society, creating stories involving controversial social, political and moral issues is fraught with risk. A recent front page article in The New York Times reported how even the all-American notion of “The American Dream” has become weaponized. In this panel directors and writers screening films at his year’s DTLA Film Fest discuss their motives for tackling hot-button issues, the challenges of keeping true to their vision without alienating audiences, and how in some case they were able to inject humor into their movies.
