Calendar – Past Event

Distribution U. is back by popular demand. The inaugural event in late 2009 was sold out, generating useful strategies and valuable new connections for the filmmakers and producers who participated.

This year, we're doing an entirely new edition of Distribution U. in both New York (Nov. 13th @ NYU) and Los Angeles (Nov. 20th @UCLA). We're calling it Distribution U. Version 2.0. Our Los Angeles workshop is co-sponsored by UCLA's School of Film, Theater and Television.

Designed and presented by leading distribution strategist Peter Broderick and cutting-edge author and tech analyst Scott Kirsner, this is a unique event that informs and engages its participants in new ways. The Distribution U. audience is active - film industry professionals and emerging filmmakers absorbing new ideas and sharing their experiences. Distribution U. focuses on the newest strategies and the latest tactics that actually work, avoiding theoretical predictions about the future. There's interactive brainstorming  - an opportunity for you to get ideas for your current project. You'll sit down for in-depth lunch discussion groups with industry experts. You'll hear how successful filmmakers built an audience and made the distribution decisions for their latest projects. And you'll engage in resource-sharing and networking with the other participants.
