Tribeca Director of Operations, Mee Lee, took the Fellows on a tour of the "Tribeca Campus". Fellows hung out at the FIP Lounge and learned how a Festival makes sure that all the Filmmakers, Industry and Press that attend a major festival get checked in, sorted out and directed to where they need to be.
Print Traffic & Presentation Manager, Chris Myers, showed the Fellows that a Festival isn't just about watching movies, its about making sure that each print of a film gets to New York, gets to each other their screenings and looks the best it possibly can. Chris showed the Fellows the little-known secrets of the Festival--the revision room, the film and tape stock, and where it's all kept...
Maggie Kim, Programming Manager, talked to the Fellows about how each film is selected... After a year-long process of screening thousands of films and musing over which is meant for the Festival, Maggie tried hard not to reveal too many of the Festival secrets, although the Fellows certainly did try to get her to!
