10:00-11:30 Comic-Con Film School 104: Postproduction with a Spotlight on Film Festivals— The final day of Comic-Con’s comprehensive course on micro-budget moviemaking revolves around what to do after your movie is shot.

You will also receive insider advice from special guest Chris Paffendorf (production coordinator for the San Diego Asian Film Festival) on how to navigate your finished project through the daunting world of Festivals. Other panelists include Matt Kohnen (NYFA, writer/director of Wasting Away). Valerie Perez (producer/star of Paula Peril—Trapped in the Flames and Tears of the Dragon, a Lara Croft Fan Film), Nick Murphy (director of Tears of the Dragon), Aaron Shoenke (director of Batman Legends and Patient J), and Sean Rourke (writer/director of 1st Person Shooter).

Join judges Tom DeSanto (producer, X-Men, Transformers) and Borys Kit (journalist, The Hollywood Reporter) and Comic-Con’s Gary Sassaman as they discuss this year’s films and announce the winners in all six categories, plus the coveted Judges’ Choice Award!

1:15-1:45 Operation: FishAfter a series of mysterious goldfish abductions, a secret agent is dispatched to bring the criminals behind the fishnappings to justice, and possibly save the world! Jeff Riley (director), Jeff Gardner (director of photography), and Rachel Ito (graphics) talk about their film.

1:45-2:05 GlowA camper, alone in the woods, wakes in the night to discover that the moon is shining much brighter than normal. Does this eerie phenomenon mean that the world is about to end...or does it simply mean that the solitary camper is losing his mind? Participating panelists include Evan Daugherty (writer/director of Rusty Forkblade), Philip Schaeffer (The Knave of Krypton), Zachary Johnson, Jeffrey Max, and Brian Higgins.

2:05-2:30 The Mercury MenA meager office drone arrives early to work to find himself caught in a galactic battle in which the fate of the universe rests in his hands for five minutes.

But when a former employer requests him to undertake one last mission, he is pulled into a deadly conflict.

3:15-5:00 Yesterday Was a LieHoyle, a girl with a sharp mind and a weakness for bourbon, finds herself on the trail of a reclusive genius in this new sci-fi noir film. Her work takes a series of unforeseen twists as events around her grow increasingly fragmented ... disconnected ... surreal. With a sexy lounge singer and a loyal partner as her only allies, Hoyle is plunged into a dark world of intrigue and earth-shattering cosmological secrets. Participating panelists include actor Peter Mayhew (Star Wars), actresses Chase Masterson (Star Trek) and Kipleigh Brown (Enterprise), writer/director James Kerwin, cinematographer Jason Cochard, and co-executive producer Andrew Deutsch.
