Metro Screen

DIY Distribution

Finding your audience

Imagine having 3 million people see your film or thousands of people paying to download your content. At the next Metro Screen Connect event you can gather together with three industry experts who have helped many independent film projects, TV concepts and online content to find and build audiences.

Come along to Metro Screen to hear from practitioners who have been breaking new ground and making their own rules to engage audiences. From DIY screenings to torrent distribution, find out from the experts what works and what doesn’t and where they see the audience-building landscape is heading. What are the alternatives to the traditional distribution paths? How do filmmakers connect to an audience?

Speakers include:
• John L Simpson, Titan View Media (The jammed, Men’s Group, 33 Postcards)
• Ahmend Salama, Creative Director DLSHS (The Tunnel, Cedar Boys)
• Nick Bolton, Viocorp, (Australia’s leading internet broadcaster)
• Guest moderator - Dean Francis, writer/director
