S Leo ChiangSelf-distribution can strike fear in the hearts of independent filmmakers and present a great challenge, yet there are many filmmakers that choose to self distribute.

In this class, S. Leo Chiang will explain the growing world of self-distribution to the educational market. He will explain the process of planning a direct mailing and email campaign, to getting the most out of non-theatrical screenings. He will also share his experience with the educational distribution efforts of A Village Called Versailles along with an introduction of New Day Films.

Presented in partnership with ITVS Community Cinema and WHYY.
