Vero! Connecting Docs 2 – Life Beyond the Premiere

Life Beyond the Premiere

A premiere at a prestigious festival is a significant moment of recognition for a documentary film, but the real work begins soon after. Life Beyond the Premiere aims to explore the often complex and strategic process of maintaining and increasing a film’s visibility after festival success. This panel examines the path films take from festival success to the challenges in securing effective distribution, access to theaters, building a dedicated audience, and ultimately gaining visibility in an ever-changing and content-saturated market.
