2011 AFF Speakers are HOT!

We knew we had an awesome group of screenwriters and filmmakers coming in, but damn. Just about every industry site I go to has an article or interview with one of our incoming panelists. Check 'em out and start thinking about your own questions to ask them at the Conference in October. You'll have plenty of opportunities to chat them up when you're right next to them standing in line at the movies, piling up your plate at the Friday night BBQ, or closing down the Driskill Bar.
