Making Change: How to Use Grassroots Distribution to Build Audiences, Revenue, and Social Change Through Film with Caitlin Boyle Founder/President Film Sprout
In recent years, do-it-yourself screening tours, social media-driven publicity and crowd-sourced financing have emerged as viable tools for filmmakers and distributors alike to distribute independent films. But how exactly can filmmakers leverage the energy and enthusiasm of local activists, leaders, and student groups to successfully earn revenue and public impact through their films? In this workshop, receive an introduction to the strategic and practical steps necessary for rallying a motivated audience around your film while earning distribution revenue and contributing to social change. Then, pose your own questions about the tools and resources you need to use your film to do good in the world, while doing well financially.
