Money Talks And Art Matters, Graham Taylor, LAFF 2011 Keynote

[Music cue: We Will Rock You by Queen]

Whether you are a filmmaker, producer, financier, distributer, or executive, now is the time to embrace the change. We are after all in the middle of a revolution, and nobody puts baby in the corner.
I asked my friend Bill Pullman to say a few words on the state of the independent film business over the past few years.
