We're not saying we're better than film school... but we are saying that film school may not prepare you as well as you'd think for the business side of doc filmmaking.

We've got tons of free resources, stand-alone Guides and two membership options to help you on your fundraising and distribution journey. Learn more at showandtell.film

You're a filmmaker, not a sales person…so how do you secure a $150,000 PBS underwriter?

How do you sell a $50,000 virtual tool kit license to a university?

How do you book a conference presentation that will raise critical awareness for your film?

Learn the basics of delivering a compelling pitch, leveraging a pitch deck, and pricing a partnership. These tried and true methods have helped Show&Tell filmmakers generate over $20 million.

Filmmakers making real revenue and impact today have two things in common:

🔸 They're making less money from universities but more from nonprofits, philanthropies, and companies.

🔸 They're raising awareness in a number of many overlapping ways, from theatrical runs and conferences to targeted PR and sponsorships.

Join Keith and filmmaker, Ellen Bruno, as they reveal how to take your message further and open new streams of income.

“Thank you for helping me take Possible Selves down a path that brought us to an Emmy win.

I learned about NETA and how to navigate it from Show&Tell—I don’t think I would have done it otherwise. PBS SoCal saw the potential in Possible Selves and made sure they had the first broadcast.”

Shaun Kadlec
Producer & Director | Possible Selves

We’re so excited for Shaun and the team! 🏆 Congratulations! 🎊

Another real response Royah received 🤣

It just goes to show that no matter how well thought out and perfectly planned your outreach is, you’re still going to run into responses that require some polite persistence.

We’re all human, we take breaks & vacations and once we’re back… we might need a little time to adjust back to reality 😎
