Dakota will be part of AFI Fest’s Eighth Annual Indie Contenders Panel


From THR: Six performers currently garnering awards buzz for their work in 2021 independent films will appear on AFI Fest’s eighth annual Indie Contenders Panel — as always, presented by The Hollywood Reporter and moderated by yours truly — to discuss the challenges and rewards of making independent movies: Caitriona Balfe (supporting actress, Focus’ Belfast), Nicolas Cage (lead actor, Neon’s Pig), Colman Domingo (supporting actor, A24’s Zola), Ann Dowd (supporting actress, Bleecker Street’s Mass), Dakota Johnson (supporting actress, Netflix’s The Lost Daughter) and Simon Rex (lead actor, A24’s Red Rocket).

This year’s AFI Fest will run from Nov. 10-14. For the second year in a row, the 75-minute Indie Contenders Panel will take place virtually. Footage of the entire conversation will debut on AFI Fest’s Eventive platform on Saturday, Nov. 13 at 1pm PST, and will subsequently be made available on this website.
