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. ✨

24/10/2024

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.
