Some festivals and venues cater to wide interests and general audiences while others focus on specific form or content, or attract a particular demographic. The best screening opportunities for a film depends on many factors.

In this session, Ruth Somalo will discuss ways of finding your audience through festivals and screenings at independent venues, how to expand the possibilities of the project beyond the screening, and how to establish connections with curators and programmers to maximize your chances of doing it all over again with your next film.

Somalo will share her experience and advice as a festival programmer, independent curator and filmmaker herself.

This event is being presented as part of “A Series For Filmmakers: Adapting to a Time of Change,” a three-part series designed for independent filmmakers at a time of uncertainty in the marketplace for films. Purchase a package to join us at all three events, or purchase tickets individually.
