Roundtable: Indie producers

August 30, 2007 Michael London (2006's "The Illusionist," 2004's "Sideways"); Holly Wiersma (2006's "Factory Girl," Lionsgate's May release "Bug"); Nick Wechsler (Sony's upcoming "We Own the Night," Focus Features' upcoming "Reservation Road"); Stephanie Allain (2005's "Hustle & Flow," Paramount Vantage's March release "Black Snake Moan"); Albert Berger (partner with Yerxa on "Little Children" and "Little Miss Sunshine").
