Technical PostWorks Vice President of Creative Services Ben Murray will moderate a panel discussion on preparing films for distribution at next week's DOC NYC PRO Conference, held in conjunction with the DOC NYC film festival. Murray will be joined by John Campbell, a partner and head of management at Buffalo 8; producer/director Blair Foster of Jigsaw Productions, and filmmaker Alysa Nahmias, founder of Ajna Films. Titled Case Study: Prep Your Film For Distribution, the session is scheduled for Tuesday, November 13 at 3:45 pm in the IFC Center.
With the proliferation of streaming services and web-based platforms, filmmakers today have more options than ever for distributing their films, but those who don't plan carefully can make costly mistakes and or not achieve the best results. The panel will offer advice not only on technical preparation, but on all the work that goes into film distribution, says Murray. That includes curriculum, grassroots campaigning and working with distributors to get the word out.
Participants:
