Today’s guest post is letter to YOU from Peter Broderick. Okay, it is to me, but only so I can forward it to you.  This is a can’t-miss-event.

Dear Ted,

We would like to invite your colleagues and readers  to Distribution U and offer them a special discount (see end of post).  It is a unique event that will give them the latest information about new distribution models and connect them to many of the people who are pioneering cutting edge strategies. The event is being presented by me,  Peter Broderick, a leading strategist and pioneer of new distribution models, and cutting-edge author and tech analyst Scott Kirsner.

Film Sprout: Grassroots & Community Distribution For Indies

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.
