The Ins and Outs of Educational Distribution

Jonathan Skurnik is an award-winning documentary filmmaker, educator and activist who was the former chair of New Day Films. As a specialist in non-theatrical documentary distribution, Skurnik will explain how the educational market works, how it’s changed and how it may evolve in the future.

In this workshop, he’ll discuss what type of documentaries are best suited for educational distribution and what a typical deal looks like. Skurnik will also shed light on what deliverables a filmmaker is expected to provide and who some of the major players in the educational market are.
