The Founder and Executive Director of Film Sprout leads this fast-paced seminar on how new platforms, new audiences and new approaches to sharing and viewing independent film are remaking the distribution landscape. Participants will learn how to tap into this new marketplace by envisioning and executing strategic, audience-driven distribution strategies. It IS possible to have increased control over how, and by whom, your film is seen, and its remunerative and impactful public life. Documentary film distribution will be the focus, though much of the content will apply to narrative and alternative projects.
