At this year's festival, photographer Maya Adrabi photographed and interviewed the writers, directors, producers and performers who came to show their works. Chase Thompson and Ryan Walker, above left and right, respectively, are co-directors of the documentary Zielinski. "Slamdance is like camp," says Thompson. "The collective energy here is the fuel that will keep me making films."
