Digital Distribution - Maximizing Reach and Revenues
2020 has forever changed the entertainment industry: shut-down theatres, stopped productions, cancelled release dates as well as film festivals and markets going on-line only. With theatres almost empty and VoD subscriptions soaring, film production and distribution companies must learn to adapt fast to navigate this new landscape and sustain their businesses. Here is where the crucial importance of alternative distribution models becomes more evident than ever.
DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION will help European producers navigate these troubles waters. The workshop provides an up-to-date overview of the marketplace, including today’s key players as well as hands-on tips and tools to monetize content and reach wider audiences. International industry experts, current examples and case studies of new deals being made as well as new ways of building a successful distribution strategy help participants take the next step. Various networking opportunities allow to connect with the experts as well as fellow European colleagues and build long-lasting business relationships.

What former participants say
- Thank you for illuminating 3 days! The scope and timeliness of information and the expertise (and enthusiasm) of the trainers at the seminar provided valuable insights, and inspired my thinking about what is possible in the development of my projects.
Beth Sanders, CROWFOOT FILMS, UK - The Digital Distribution Workshop by EPI is the perfect tool for enhancing my knowledge on the distribution market. It was very useful in these days when the traditional model is rapidly changing. I do appreciate an excellent organization of on-line workshop and high level of experts.
Jindrich Trcka, COFILM, Czech Republic - The workshop offers great inside and detailed information on the current situation of digital distribution and marketing. It gave me a lot of hands on advice and ideas on how to plan new projects and reevaluate existing distribution strategies. I definitely have a long to do list now!
