Four up and coming filmmakers will host live chats with fans during screenings of their films in the Independent Features online film festival tonight (Tuesday, June 24). The screenings take advantage of Lycos Cinema’s unique synchronous watch and chat functionality, allowing fans to ask questions and get commentary from the films’ directors while watching the movies together in real-time.
