Platform Wild West-Finding Distribution For Your Indie Film
Description:
The Indie film & TV worlds are at a crossroads as evolving platforms provide challenge & opportunity. Nothing, of course, can stop the artistic energy of independent creatives, but how do we find distribution that both reaches eyeballs & pays the bills? Is it AVOD, FVOD, self distribution, or a combo? At this Meet-up independent creatives with a project in the can who are seeking distribution can network with one another and, hopefully, distributors and buyers from networks and streamer platforms who will attend as well. Maybe the next next break out feature doc will emerge. Let's hope so!
