BendFilm Takes IND/EX
Recently, BendFilm’s very own Christina and Selin traded Central Oregon for Chicago to attend IND/EX, one of the premier gatherings for independent cinemas, film festivals, and industry leaders from across the country. It was BendFilm’s first time attending, and we came home with notebooks full of ideas, a growing list of new friends and collaborators, and plenty of inspiration for what’s next. Every conversation, panel, and chance encounter helps us build a stronger festival, a better Tin Pan, and richer experiences for our community. Stay tuned. We’ve got stories to tell, ideas to share, and a full IND/EX debrief coming your way soon.
