Our recent success
We’re so proud of our success with MY ASCENSION and ASD BAND: THE MOVIE.
Our outreach for MY ASCENSION:
- Raised over $500,000 from partners in healthcare and the philanthropic world
- Secured a PBS broadcast reaching 90% of US markets
- Hosted hundreds of screenings at middle schools, high schools, and college campuses across the country connecting the film with thousands of students, educators, parents and community members
- Partnered with prestigious institutions like Children’s Hospital New Orleans, Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital and others to use the film as a valuable tool for educating children's healthcare professionals
We’re a small and mighty team, but we are currently at capacity for our distribution services.
Moving forward, we will only be considering and acquiring films from within the Show&Tell Circle. This is a great opportunity for filmmakers and our team to get to know each other before signing a distribution deal. If you would like to learn more and apply, visit our Circle page.
