A Conversation with Bob Berney & John Pierson - SXSW Film 2009

With a roster of successes including Pan's Labyrinth, Y Tu Mama Tambien, The Passion Of The Christ, and My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and a career stretching from early exhibition days at the Inwood Theater, Dallas, through IFC Films, to founder/president of Newmarket and Picturehouse, calling Bob Berney an indie distribution guru seems like an understatement. We are therefore delighted to announce that UT Film Clinical Professor John Pierson will be moderating a conversation with Berney as he discusses his career, the state of cinema, and the future of independent distribution in an increasingly diffused media landscape.

Man, these SXSW interviews are all so quiet. My laptop volume doesn't go up high enough for me to comfortably hear them -- I have to put on headphones.

Content's not bad, though.
