The filmmaker is in row four. Not behind a velvet rope. Eighty seats means the Q&A after is a real conversation, not a performance.

Tell me when it's backWhat it was like
The screen has eighty seats, and nobody involved is apologizing for that number.
At this size the filmmaker is not behind a rope somewhere. They are in row four. The Q&A after the credits stops being a promotional exercise and turns into a working session, because the audience asks real questions and gets real answers, and the conversation keeps going out on the sidewalk afterward. Films that would vanish inside a larger festival find the exact people they were made for.
For ten years this has been the room for work studios would not risk and networks would not greenlight — the specific, the personal, the stories told from inside instead of about. That mandate has not gotten one bit easier. Accepted filmmakers get passes, networking, and award consideration; everyone else gets a Q&A after every single screening.
Bring the friend who keeps saying nobody makes movies for them anymore. Watch their face when the person who made it is sitting two rows ahead.
