Dear Gentle Reader,
Tommy Minnix here again, after our first day of meetings at the No Borders section of Independent Film Week. Firstly, a big thanks to John Sylva, Susan Wrubel, and the Ifp team and volunteers for their amazing coordination of dozens (hundreds even?) of industry and filmmakers, all shuttling from one table to the next to spend a brief but critical 25 minutes getting to know each other. From inside the elevator before the doors opened, it sounded like a beehive. And when you walked into the room, it could have been with all the activity.
Writer/director Dean Kapsalis and I had a number of meetings today. We began at around 1Pm and had meetings interspersed throughout the day until 5:30. We met people from an array of different professions in the industry — casting directors, sales agents, distributors, other independent producers, and reps from industry groups and not-for-profits.

Dear Gentle Reader,
My name is Tommy Minnix, and I am really delighted to be guest blogging for Independent Film Week this year. Thanks to Scott and the folks at Ifp for having me.
I am participating in No Borders this year with a narrative feature called The Swerve. The script was written and will be directed by Dean Kapsalis, and I’m producing along with veteran indie producer Derrick Tseng. It’s a psychological thriller about a woman whose life spirals out of control when she’s bitten by a mouse.
When we got the e-mail in mid-July that we had been selected, it was the funniest thing, because that day, Dean turned to me at one point and said, “What’s going on with Ifp — did you hear anything about No Borders yet?” and I literally clicked over to my e-mail as the message appeared in the box.
