I enjoy each of my roles because it requires being present. Being present as a reporter fosters storytelling. It means one is fluid and open to where the story takes you. It means having situational awareness. One variable change can alter the way one tells a story. Other times, having conversations with the interviewee takes the story in a completely different direction. Being present as a producer is a portion of the way a show comes alive. I may have a show stacked a certain way but if my guest/co-anchor and I are having a moment I want it to breathe. Being present as an anchor is essential. Once that on-air sign is lit it is go-time. And all one should do is interact & address in real-time segments, conversations & anything the control room displays in videos or graphics. Being present is part of the magic. Some of that magic is in this #BoldenBlitz: Jan. 29 - Feb. 2 #MiniDemoReel #Reporter #Anchor #Producer #Host #Broadcaster

Most times the press kit comes into the hands of journalists before the screening of the film, forming the first impression of the film and its author. So, you must work on it in the best way you can. 📌 Media Coverage: Providing a press kit with high-quality images, trailers, and relevant documents can make the job of journalists easier and increase the chances of getting media coverage. 📌 Festival Submissions: Festivals use press kits to evaluate the films they select and to prepare materials for their own promotional efforts. 📌 Marketing and Promotion: Distributors, sales agents, and other industry professionals may use your press kit as a resource when considering whether to acquire or promote your film. 📌 Consistency: A press kit helps ensure that everyone involved in promoting your film has access to the same information and materials. 📌 Networking: When attending film festivals, markets, or industry events, having physical copies of your press kit to distribute can help you network with potential partners, investors, and collaborators. 📌 Online Presence: A digital press kit can be easily shared on your film's website, social media platforms, and through email. 📌 Information Dissemination: This makes it easy for journalists to write articles or reviews about your film.

In its evolution, social-issue documentary storytelling has thrived as a discourse for social justice and change because of its ability to work within a “dual distribution system” – that is, distributed as entertainment and journalism across mainstream media outlets, but also disseminated as part of broader social engagement efforts in community spaces. Over the past several years, however, it is increasingly difficult to successfully retain sufficient rights or maintain the ability to do social impact engagement work with these films. The Negotiating Social Impact Rights in Documentary Film Guide aims to support filmmakers, especially independent and relatively new filmmakers, to navigate their social impact work in the multi-platform, streaming age of documentary. It also offers recommendations for how effective collaborations with sales agents and funders can help support filmmaker efforts around social impact. 🔗 You can check out this guide and learn more about it on our website: https://lnkd.in/eZEegr-r #documentaryfilm #storytelling #socialimpact
