About the Event
DIFF 2026 PROUDLY PRESENTS REWRITING THE INDIE FEATURE PLAYBOOK WITH STEPHEN MASTROCOLA AND H. NELSON TRACEY
INDUSTRY WORKSHOP-- Bring your questions and prepare for a unique, up-to-date panel on how indie features are really getting made in 2026. Geared towards filmmakers looking to direct their first feature, as well as filmmakers looking to release their completed indie feature, this no-nonsense approach to the current landscape of indie films is an invaluable look at the realities of the independent film landscape, fresh from the front lines. Producers Stephen Mastrocola (of Buffalo 8) and H. Nelson Tracey collaborated together on Breakup Season, which went on to have a very healthy film festival run winning several accolades in the process, Best Feature at the 2024 Desertscape International Film Festival among them. Mastrocola and Tracey have both since produced additional features and bring unique perspectives on the current independent film landscape.
