Distribution and Programming Block

Who are the people that select the films for film festivals? Where can my short film play outside of fests, and just who is buying them? Is self distribution worth it?

•Distribution Face Off: Matt Dentler (Head of Programming and Marketing, Cinetic Rights Management) and Bob Moczydlowsky (Director of Program Management, Topspin Media) will speak to the pros and cons of the decisions filmmakers face regarding distribution or self-distribution opportunities.

•Programmers Panel: Programmers will be put into the hot seat and forced to answer some difficult questions generated by the day’s attendees, featuring Todd Luoto (Shorts Programmer, Sundance Film Festival), Katie Metcalfe (Shorts Programmer, Sundance Film Festival & Producer, Future Shorts), Sharon Badal (Head Short Film Programmer, Tribeca Film Festival), Jake Perlin, (Associate Programmer, BAMcinématek), and Mark-Elijah Rosenberg (Founder, Rooftop Films & Filmmaker).

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
