Last Saturday, Sundance Insitute and San Francisco Film Society teamed up to present the second annual #ArtistServices San Francisco Workshop.  Gathered in the reknowned Sundance Kabuki Cinemas, minds rallied to learn how to perfect the art of independent filmmaking.  As is our tradition, below are the day's top takeaways as told on Twitter:
