Legendary director Roger Corman is hosting the Corman Quarantine Film Festival, an online contest for filmmakers to create art from the comfort of home. Roger Corman is an icon of independent film, and a legend within the movie industry. As a director, he created timeless B-level drive-in classics, and as a producer, he discovered filmmakers like Peter Bogdanovich, James Cameron, Francis Ford Coppola, and countless others.
To spice things up during the current Coronavirus crisis, fellow legend of indie film, Lloyd Kaufman to participate.
Hollywood has taken a severe hit from the Coronavirus pandemic. The box office has dropped to effectively zero, while virtually every major summer blockbuster has been pushed to later in the year or even 2021. Film productions have been famous directors. Roger Corman has spent his whole life giving a platform to unknown talent and turning them into household names, and that continues thanks to the Corman Quarantine Film Festival.
