Wednesday,
May 19 | 6:00 - 8:00PM

Join us for an extraordinary opportunity to hear first-hand from Abigail Disney, producer of the film Pray the Devil Back to Hell, which received the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival Jury Prize for Best Documentary, had a successful theatrical run, launched a robust grassroots screening campaign (the Global Peace Tour), and will have its television premiere in late 2010 as part of "Women, War & Peace” on PBS's Wide Angle.
Abigail will discuss what lessons she learned about distribution and audience engagement since the film was released, as well as the pros and cons of theatrical distribution and how to create a robust engagement strategy.
