All panels and master classes are free except for Man & Beast and Reel Kids Camp. Like all T/F events, tickets for the two Forrest Theater master classes (Cuts + Beats, Image vs. Sound) and the Stephens College seminar (How I Made it in the [Indie] Movie Biz) can be picked up at the Cherry St. Artisan box office so as to save your spot. Alternatively, just show up and most likely, there will be room for you. For the Artisan events, just wander in and find yourself a spot.
