The hard truth: Making a great film is just the beginning. Without a clear marketing and distribution plan, even the best films can go unseen. Hoping for a festival win isn’t a business strategy—budget for promotion, assemble the right team, and prioritize marketing from day one. Success isn’t just about making a film; it’s about making sure people see it. ?? This clip featuring Kirk Roos is from our panel on Indie Filmaking last month. ??

Breaking Barriers, One Frame at a Time. Women in film have not just told stories—they have rewritten history. From pioneers like Alice Guy-Blaché, the first female filmmaker, to modern trailblazers like Ava DuVernay and Chloé Zhao, their impact goes beyond the screen. They have directed, produced, edited, designed, and acted their way through an industry that often underestimated them. Yet, their vision, resilience, and artistry continue to shape cinema in ways that inspire generations. On this International Women’s Day, we honor the women who have fought for representation, equality, and the right to tell their own stories. Because when women create, the world listens. Who is a woman in film that has inspired you? Let’s celebrate their contributions today.
