Your film is complete. You’ve shot, edited, mixed and scored until all elements are perfect (or as close to perfect as you can get them)…

You’re gearing up for a festival run, ready to share your story with the world. But, how do you get your film out to the widest audience possible? What happens after that glorious festival run, filled with accolades and awards? Ideally, proper distribution, of course.

Film Distribution and Marketing Strategist/Impact Producer Mia Bruno joins us to review distribution strategy and discuss which festivals you should apply to, how quickly to move into theatrical (if at all), and the ever-changing SVOD/PVOD landscape. To add to the conversation, documentary filmmaker Sam Feder will join Mia for a case study of his most recent documentary, Heightened Scrutiny, which world premiered at Sundance in 2025.
