SilverDocs | AFI/Discovery Channel Documentary Festival

"Old School" is New Money: Opportunities in the Educational Market

4:00 – 5:30 p.m., Discovery Multipurpose Rooms

So you think your documentary is ready for a class of high school sophomores. How can you anticipate your film’s appeal for educational distribution? What do documentary distributors demand compared to what parameters school curricula require? What are the components that educational distributors demand? What products do school systems expect from distributors?  How can you re-purpose your material to open up educational distribution opportunities?  What is the revenue potential?
