Understanding Your Audience with Greenlit + Q&A

The traditional systems of funding and distribution have often failed marginalised filmmakers, but there are ways of empowering yourself and creating work without relying on the old ways of doing things. WFTV members are invited to this online panel discussion with Grace O’Keefe and Peter Storey from Greenlit.com. 

Grace and Peter will explore ways of building your audience, and working with your community to raise funding, develop ideas and launch your work into the world. Themes discussed will include pitching and promoting your work in different contexts, understanding your audience, and how to maximise your impact when raising funding.

There will be an opportunity to ask the panel questions during the last 15 minutes of the session.
