I’ve helped filmmakers raise over $2 million by securing a PBS broadcast and pitching niche foundations and companies that will sponsor your broadcast.
My approach has helped filmmakers secure their broadcast then raise underwriting support from companies, foundations, and nonprofits.
This mini course will is both an introduction to the PBS system and an actionable outline of how you can reach a large national audience and raise significant funding for your film.
Here’s what we cover:
Keith is the founder of the Show&Tell virtual screening platform and leads the Show&Tell educational course.
After producing his own documentaries for 12 years, he’s advised hundreds of filmmakers on their distribution fundraising strategy.
He's delivered keynote presentations on distribution at filmmaking organizations like IDA and IFP and his work has appeared in IndieWire and Documentary Magazine.
“After many years of producing my own films and working with other filmmakers, it’s become clear that longevity in this industry is about understanding and creating direct connections with your audience. My goal with Show&Tell is to empower filmmakers with the knowledge, tools and community they need to succeed in today’s ever-changing distribution landscape.”
