Film Sprout is offering a great series of workshops in April. I had the opportunity last year to sit with Caitlin Bryce and was deeply impressed. There are only 15 spots and it only costs $150 so sign up fast.
The first workshop in the series, From the Ground Up: Building Grassroots Distribution for your Independent Film, is a crash course in the strategic and practical steps necessary for rallying a motivated audience around a successful community screening campaign for your film.
In four intensive hours, we’ll discuss a broad range of case studies, identify helpful tricks-of-the-trade, and walk through the nuts-and-bolts tools you’ll need–from contracts to contacts–to launch a rewarding community screenings effort.
At the end of the workshop, you’ll receive a chance to pitch your own grassroots outreach and screening plan to an intimate panel of seasoned filmmakers, outreach coordinators, and programmers–and to get valuable guidance in return.
It’s Sunday April 11th 2-6P in Brooklyn, so act now. And let me know what you think of it.
