Content overview: “Cannes Winner Giancarlo Nasi: U.S. Indie Filmmakers Turn to International Co-Production Fu”. At the Vancouver International Film Festival, Cannes-winning Chilean producer Giancarlo Nasi revealed that U.S. independent filmmakers are increasingly seeking international public funds from Canada, Mexico, Latin America, and Europe.
