          Ask us Anything: Impact Producing

          15:10 - 16:00 Thursday 19th Mar 2026 / 50 min

          Though impact campaigns for social issue documentaries have been around for decades, the proliferation of impact producers, community screenings, activations for policymakers, and their movement-building potential remain mysterious for many filmmakers.

          In this session led by moderator Abby Sun, our esteemed panel will first illustrate the breadth of impact producing through an introductory exercise with two prototype projects. Next, they will spend the rest of the panel answering as many of your questions as possible. Ask us anything!

          This session can only be purchased as part of the full afternoon bundle.
