A Filmmaker’s Workshop presented by SIFTMedia 215 Collective and Independence Public Media Foundation.

Get to know our friendly regional Public Television Programmers! Filmmakers can learn the in’s and out’s of getting their work on regional & national PBS.

Independent filmmakers often talk about getting their work on Amazon, Hulu, Netflix or HBO. But what about the network that is available for free on broadcast television or the internet? Public Television! Why do we forget about the potential for reaching thousands of people in our community on PBS?
