Attendees learn how to find their audience, structure their crowdfunding campaign, pick the right goal and incentives, and much more. Taught by Emily Best, Seed&Spark's Founder and CEO. ​​11:30 AM - 1 PM | Workshop 2: Six Steps to Build Your Own Film Distribution Playbook ​​Now more than ever, distribution is in the hands of the makers, which brings both tremendous opportunities and challenges. We break down six clear steps to developing a distribution playbook for filmmakers for your project to have the greatest chance of accomplishing your goals, and offer distribution tips, tactics, and, most importantly, the economics for every window from theatrical through VOD and beyond. Taught by Emily Best, Seed&Spark's Founder, and Rish Aggarwal with Kinema. ​Access & Presence Notice RSVPs are required for each session.
