DOC NYC Webinar: New Strategies for Distribution

Recorded live on Fri Mar 27, 2020

Filmmakers are scrambling for new strategies to connect with distributors and reach audiences as Covid-19 sweeps the globe. 

DOC NYC’s programming team has been in constant contact with sales agents, distributors and marketing consultants to gather the best advice on how to navigate these unprecedented challenges. Among the questions we’ll address: How do films recover from cancelled spring festivals? Will streamers need new content? As education moves online, how can docs play a part? What are DIY strategies for this moment?

This  webinar will distill expert guidance to help filmmakers adapt and feel less isolated in this time of change.  Practical and empowering, the hour-long session will feature a panel moderated by new DOC NYC Director of Industry and Education Caitlin Boyle, and featuring:  

Kevin Iwashina: Senior Associate, Endeavor Content

Annie Roney: Founder & CEO, ro*co international &
Co-founder, FILM PLATFORM

Peter Broderick: President, Paradigm Consulting

Co-Moderator Thom Powers, Artistic Director, DOC NYC

Participants were invited to submit questions and to engage in an interactive Q&A session after panelist remarks.
