Granada Nights director Abid Khan will be joined by industry guests and Breeze alumni after the screening for a panel discussion: ‘How to Navigate Your Sophomore Feature and Sustain a Career in the Industry’, inviting you to explore the unique challenges and learning curves encountered after a debut film’s success. Panelists will address issues such as securing financing with heightened pressure, evolving creative identity, managing distribution and festival strategy differently the second time around, and coping with audience and critical comparisons between your debut and sophomore features. Attendees will gain candid insights into what changes, what stays the same, and how to leverage early experience without being held back by it.
