ABOUT THE PANELISTS:
Mike P. Nelson (Director)
If the apocalypse were to happen tomorrow, you’d find Mike sipping an old-fashioned in his backyard and reveling in the fact that now he could go out and shoot a post-apocalyptic revenge film entirely practical. Whether he’s writing or directing, Mike’s focus remains on creating stylized, character-driven work. Sure he may like the dark, weird, and gritty nature of storytelling, but underneath all that cool midnight madness is something warm we call heart. And boy is it tasty! He wrote and directed his first feature film, The Domestics, with MGM and just finished his latest, Wrong Turn with Constantin Film.

Nick Junkersfeld is a director of photography, editor, and filmmaker who has worked on numerous commercial, narrative, and documentary projects in the Twin Cities and abroad.
