TRUTH OR DARE
Face the critics: you cannot cheat with the Truth or Dare! After watching your film, programmers, buyers, consultants and film critics share their feedback, straight up and without mincing their words, during a 20-minute interview. A great opportunity to gain opinions on your work and identify your strengths… as well as the important details to improve for your future projects – if you dare!
