Background
Since its launch in 2012, the PBS Online Film Festival has featured diverse films from up and coming filmmakers. Each year, the annual festival showcases 25 short-form independent films.
My Role
As one of its founders, I have served as the festival's Executive Producer and Chief Curator. To sustain these efforts, I have raised more than $500,000 in grant funding to support independent films on PBS digital platforms.
Key Results
To date, festival films have been viewed more than 10-million times, reaching a younger social engaged audience, than the PBS core. The films can be viewed on PBS.org, PBS video apps, YouTube, and Facebook.
