Tropfest Roughcut is focused on collaboration and creativity, what inspires and drives the heart and soul of the filmmaking process. Roughcut 2012 will delve into the most important principle of filmmaking: storytelling. Our lineup of industry talent will explore what makes them tick creatively and how each of their disciplines contributes to the filmmaker’s vision.

Roughcut is aimed at emerging and newly established filmmakers in an effort to support their storytelling practice.

Roughcut will take place in 2012 at The Film Society of Lincoln Center’s landmark state-of-the-art Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center - More information about Guest Speakers and ticketing information will be available soon.
