Screen Roundtable: How to Let Go of Your First Film

There’s more to a debut than striking the right deal. Part of the challenge is learning to let go of a project you have worked on for many years. How do first-time directors handle this process? What have they learned in the journey from making a first film to sharing it with audiences? And what advice can they share of letting go of their first-born film?
