Indie Film Weekly 6.9.16: The World’s Most Advanced Camera & Death of the PA

Published: June 9, 2016, 7:01 a.m.

In this episode of Indie Film Weekly, No Film School Editor-in-Chief Liz Nord and Managing Editor Emily Buder discuss a collaboration between camera giants Panavision and RED to create arguably the world’s most advanced cinema camera, the Panavision Millennium Digital XL 8K. We also cover an even more industry-shaking announcement: Obama's plan to require time-and-a-half overtime pay for lower-income workers may forever change the way producers deal with assistants trying to climb the production ladder. Finally, some can’t-miss news about Netflix binge-watching, the indie-ness of Amazon's new programming, and updates from last weekend's Cinegear Expo in L.A. As always, the episode includes our Ask No Film School segment, plus grant and festival deadlines, upcoming indie film releases, and other notable things you might have missed while you were busy making films.
