The Fledgling Fund Releases Working Paper "From Distribution to Audience Engagement"

The Fledgling Fund is pleased to present a new paper, titled "From Distribution to Audience Engagement".  This paper, written by The Fledgling Fund Senior Program Officer Emily Verellen, explores the stages of distribution, outreach/strategic communications and audience engagement and connects each stage to how it helps independent social issue film achieve social change.  Secondly, the paper outlines the importance of partnerships, how non-profits and filmmakers can work together and how those relationships can and must be be mutually beneficial.  The paper also suggests key questions that filmmakers and their partners should be asking themselves about their work when planning for substantive audience engagement work.  You can read the paper here.
