Beyond the Festival Circuit - Navigating Independent Documentary Distribution
What happens when the documentary filmmaking infrastructure doesn’t support your voice—or never did? This panel offers a comprehensive look at the current landscape of documentary distribution, focusing on the diverse strategies filmmakers use to bring their work to audiences. Panelists will discuss their own distribution journeys—from navigating more traditional avenues to leveraging innovative models and platforms. Whether through partnerships, impact campaigns, or hybrid approaches, this conversation will provide practical insights into how to effectively position your documentary for visibility and reach beyond the festival circuit.
Panelists: Jota Mun @betweengoodbyes (Director, BETWEEN GOODBYES), Chithra Jeyaram (Director/Producer/Writer, LOVE, CHAOS, KIN), Sunah Kim (Producer, VOICES)
Moderator: Robert Chang @robertchang (POV)
