SEIZE THE FUTURE - MASTER WORKSHOP ON FUNDING, MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION OF INDEPENDENT FILMS
Seize The Future is a special 2 -day Master Workshop designed for independent filmmakers and artists determined to get their work seen widely, create social impact, and earn a living in the digital age. Leading distribution strategist and President of Paradigm Consulting Peter Broderick, and Sandi DuBowski of Trembling Before G-d, A Jihad for Love, and Budrus and Outreach Director for The Good Pitch, co-present this workshop. We've held it in London, Stoke and Edinburgh and are looking to tour it round the world so contact us if you'd like us to bring it to your town.
Peter and Sandi reveal the cutting-edge tools and techniques successful filmmakers are using around the world to:
• Develop creative fundraising campaigns.
• Harness the Internet and social media to maximise awareness and audience.
• Design customized cutting-edge distribution strategies to increase revenue.
• Implement outreach campaigns to create social impact.
• Build a fan base to support future work.
The workshop features multi-media presentations, breakout groups, and interactive sessions. There are networking opportunities during coffee breaks, lunch, and throughout the workshop. Everyone has a chance to connect and lay the groundwork for future collaborations.
Here’s what the London participants said about Seize the Future:
“EXTREMELY USEFUL AND INSPIRING…This course not only assured me independent production and distribution was possible, but proved it was healthier, more ambitious and exciting than anything else. Most importantly, it gave real guides on how to do it.”
"Peter Broderick is a thought leader; a forward thinking strategist, accomplished consultant, sought-after speaker-someone the filmmaking community can count on to identify new ideas and developments in film distribution to its attention." - James Buffin, POV Magazine
“EMPOWERING…I feel I have insight and confidence in an area that was previously a closed box to me. I definitely see this workshop as something that will impact and benefit my work in the future.”
