TFF Workshop: Creative Distribution in Depth with Liz Manashil

CREATIVE DISTRIBUTION IN DEPTH

The independent film distribution and marketing landscape is constantly evolving and writer/director Liz Manashil has been at the forefront of the industry, as a filmmaker, distributor, and by collecting and analyzing data in order to empower filmmakers.

Join Liz, the Senior Manager of Impact Distribution at Picture Motion and former Manager of Sundance Institute’s Creative Distribution Initiative, as she shares her expertise and perspective, walking participants through the changes and opportunities of creative and impact distribution. This workshop is essential for filmmakers navigating festival, marketing, and distribution opportunities for themselves and their projects.

Liz will join us virtually and the workshop will be facilitated by Katy Evans.

All TFF workshops are free: first-come, first-serve. Arrive early to make sure you get a seat.
