Ask Me Anything: Daniel Tantalean

By Rebecca Green

Going from the 2023 Film Independent Producing Lab to winning the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance 2024 for his film IN THE SUMMERS, Daniel Tantalean has leaned a lot in the last year about how to get your first feature off the ground and in front of audiences and now is your time to pick his brain.

“Ask Me Anything” is a group consulting forum created to answer specific questions filmmakers have about their projects and career. 10 filmmakers will participate in a Zoom session with Daniel Tantalean and each participant will be allotted 10 minutes to ask their specific question and receive advice. Participants will join for the entire session, listening in on all the questions asked by participants, allowing for an opportunity to learn about a wide range of topics and build community. The session will be moderated by Rebecca Green and will not be recorded in order to provide a safe space for open dialogue.

Each session is $50 per person. 100% of the proceeds goes to pay the producer leading the session for their time and expertise.
