Film Distribution and the Educational Market
Titles that are incorporated into classroom use can generate years of income. Learn how to distribute them.
Distribution of documentary films and some kinds of narrative films to schools, churches, and community organizations is too important to overlook. For certain films, this may be the entire distribution plan. This event, presented by Icarus Films Vice President Livia Bloom on May 25, will take a look at this field, what filmmakers need to know about it, and how they can access it.
