The Dallas VideoFest panel examining the transition from “From Film to Television” begins at 10 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 5.

In years past, Dallas VideoFest has featured more than a hundred movies stretched out over a week. This year’s slate, though, includes only a few dozen shown over this weekend.

This week, we talk with VideoFest artistic director Bart Weiss about creating a leaner, more focused fest. And we preview Austin filmmaker Kat Candler‘s session for filmmakers about transitioning from film director to TV show runner.
