Former Torontonian and current Los Angeles resident, Roberta Munroe arrives at Inside Out to speak about her craft, both in filmmaking and programming, in an insightful and entertaining lecture that is a must-see event for all filmmakers, students, curators and cinephiles.

Topics covered will range from script development to distribution and funding to how to avoid the 100 most overused film clichés. Roberta knows not only how to help you make a great film but can also show you "How NOT to Make a Rotten, Unwatchable, Unprogrammable Short Film."

Learn why making short films is good for your career, why you shouldn´t care if your film gets into Sundance, and how to avoid the costly pitfalls filmmakers often encounter. Join us as Munroe dispels the mystery of making short films versus features, guides us through the madness of production for both narrative and documentary, from funding and casting to festival and distribution strategies and reveals insider secrets to help get your film out there!

An articulate and informed speaker, Roberta is considered the go-to expert with a keen insider´s take on the production and business of short filmmaking. In a media world that is increasingly dominated by the short film format, including online and mobile content, Roberta´s knowledge and rock solid advice are more valuable than ever for short-form media makers everywhere.
