This year, we were able to secure a $100,000 PBS underwriter by sending a compelling cold email, booking a 30-minute zoom meeting, and delivering a simple pitch. We had a follow-up meeting and were able to get to YES on an additional $50,000 in partnership.

How did we do it? This candid conversation reveals details on how we were able to identify, connect with, and secure a major partner.🤝

We can’t promise it’ll always be this quick and easy, but we know what works!

Just like making a film takes a team, so does distributing your film.

Ideally, you aren't going about your distribution efforts alone. And if you're going to hire a teammate, we HIGHLY recommend hiring a Smiler & Dialer.

A Smiler & Dialer is a positive, intrepid person who is willing to talk to complete strangers about your film, why it's important, and how they can work to support it.

We've hosted several webinars for our members on how to budget & hire the right teammate, and the recordings are always available in our Show&Tell Guides. ✨

It’s no coincidence that an overwhelming majority of the Show&Tell filmmakers that have raised $200K, $300K, even $500K have been Circle members - the work that we do in the Circle echoes the information that Keith covers in our webinars, but in a way that’s tailored to your needs.

If you’re interested in working closely with Keith on your fundraising and distribution plans as part of the Circle, join our special webinar on Monday October 28th at 1pm PT.

WIN-WIN PARTNERSHIPS

In order to work with partners on your film, you have to effectively communicate how the partner will uniquely benefit. Too many filmmakers focus on what the strategy is, and not enough on what value the film provides to the partner.

See it from their side, WHY should they partner with you?

Show&Tell Circle member, Tal Skloot recently shared his experience with the Circle and how it helped him raise over $100,000 through his Kickstarter campaign.

By partnering with allies that offered creative rewards, embracing their target audience, and using tools & resources that we cover in the Circle, they secured double their original goal!

A Quiet Revolution: The Story of Windham Hill Records is truly Tal's passion project -- the film chronicles the untold origins of the iconic label, how Windham Hill defied musical norms of its era and continues to resonate with audiences today -- even in a society that feels turbulent and constantly distracted.

"The musicians of Windham Hill Records shared their musical stories and allowed listeners to look inward and experience their own emotions through the music.

Our society needs these introspective musical moments more than ever." - Tal
