The conversation IndieWire started with our data last week is moving to Cannes.
On Saturday May 16 at 9am, we're hosting "The Evolution of Distribution: How a Direct-To-Audience Pipeline Will Energize Independent Film" at Cannes Next, Village Innovation (Pantiero).
The panel: Daniel Berger (Oscilloscope Laboratories), Sarah Mosses (Together Films), John Nein (Sundance Film Festival), Sharon "Rocky" Roggio (1946 Studios), and Eventive CEO Iddo Patt.
The argument: big screens and small screens don't have to fight each other. Direct-to-audience tools are already helping films reach more people, deepen engagement, and grow revenue. The data backs it up.
See you Saturday.
Our white paper sparked a debate. IndieWire's @danalharris just published "The Standing Ovation Is Not a Distribution Strategy," using Eventive data as her sole source to argue that festival audiences are thriving, but the connection to distribution is broken.
We agree the gap is real. And we think data is how you close it.
We're at Cannes this week continuing the conversation. Link in bio for the full IndieWire piece + our white paper.
