Shot by Shot: From Music Videos to Feature Films

In this lively conversation between three filmmakers, you’ll hear how they’ve successfully leapt from directing music videos with famous artists to premiering acclaimed features at top global festivals. Emma Higgins’ debut, Sweetness, world-premiered at SXSW 2025; RT Thorne’s film, 40 Acres, had its US debut at SXSW 2025; and Floria Sigismondi’s film, The Runaways, has achieved cult status in pop culture. They will discuss the transition from the tight budgets of videos to the logistics of securing funding for their own stories and having the creative license to fulfill their visions.
