Q: which one or two of the producers at Sundance Round Table would be best for helping you fight & win against an Aliens & Predators attack?

So, let's say one day you find yourself caught in the middle of an Aliens and Predators fight, as described in the trailer below:



And let's say you have the ability to bring one or two of the producers from the Sundance Producers Round table to help you survive & win against the two types of monsters mentioned above. Who would you bring? And why? Please elaborate. In order to properly formulate your answer you may want to watch all 3 parts of the Producers Round Table. Part 1 is below, and you can find part 2 here, and part 3 here. The person who provides the best answer (best as determined solely by me, using classified criteria) will win brunch (keep it under $20) from a Brooklyn restaurant. Good luck!

Review - doing difficult things well - making a period movie about the early 1980s with teenagers - Blake Calhoun's CASEY MAKES A MIXTAPE

By Sujewa Ekanayake * Blake Calhoun is an experienced indie filmmaker - but, it's very difficult to do period movies well - movies set in another era - on a low indie film budget, and it can be difficult to have several teenagers in your cast as the main characters - to get great performances.

3 interesting indie filmmakers to check out - Hong Sang-soo (By the Stream), Blake Calhoun (Casey Makes A Mixtape), Lav Diaz (Magellan) - trailers, links

* Hong Sang-soo has become the ultimate indie filmmaker - making and releasing his movies largely by himself (key crew positions are now done by him) since around 2021 or so.  And his most recently theatrically released movie (by the time you read this article he could release something new - he works fast) By the Stream is an excellent indie film. It's somewhat Slow Cinema-ish, so you have to hang back and let it work its magic on you - go with it.  Here's the trailer (movie should be available to rent or buy soon from Cinema Guild ):  * Which indie filmmaker is crazy enough to make a period movie, on a micro-budget, with teenagers?  Apparently Blake Calhoun.  He mixes iPhone photography with footage from a larger camera and delivers an observational comedy-drama about an important summer in the life of a 13 year old character named Casey.  And the movie went on to receive a 9/10 review from Film Threat - which is kind of amazing.  A micro-budget, rea...
