Advance RSVP is available to Primary Entry badge types only. Walk-ups may be accepted on a first come, first served basis.

Mentor Sessions offer 15 minutes of one-on-one interaction with industry leaders and professionals from a variety of fields spanning interactive, film, and music.

How often do you find a film you want to watch, but decide not to after reading the reviews? Hear from the people who write about movies and learn about the art form that is film criticism and journalism and how it can impact on your film.

This Mentor Session requires advance online sign up and is available to all Film and Platinum badgeholders on a first-come, first-served basis. Online sign ups will open in February.

Registrants who sign up online must check-in 30 minutes before their mentor time slot to guarantee their spot. Limited on-site sign up is also available for a small number of Mentor Sessions spots and will begin 30 minutes before the first time slot of each session.
