Sundance Institute x Chicago: Finance & Distribution Panel

In the wake of Participant Media’s recent shuttering, the future viability of social impact projects of scale appears uncertain. This panel will explore new hybrid approaches to financing and distribution that incorporate both monetary and social value. As philanthropic and impact investors seek new ways to promote change, could socially engaged independent film become a compelling investment opportunity? Join us for a panel of innovators in this freshly vital space.

Confirmed panelists to date include Adrienne Becker (Level Forward), Jason Matsumoto (Full Spectrum Features), Lauren Pabst (MacArthur Foundation), Jonah Zeiger (Chicago Film Office).

This event operates on a first come first served basis due to its popularity and free admission. To ensure you don't miss out on any of the excitement, we recommend arriving at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start time. Please note that after the event's start time, entry may not be guaranteed and your ticket could be released to accommodate other attendees.
