Please join us on Wednesday May 14th from 6-9 PM for our “Distribution-Driven Fundraising for Documentaries” with Producer Darcy McKinnon!
This workshop will be a conversation about the landscape of distribution for documentaries today - and how that connects to your fundraising plan. The distribution landscape for documentaries has changed significantly over the past few years - leading to shifts in resources, a changing market and new opportunities to connect your film to your audience.
