NETA picks New Doc Films
I’m happy to announce that two documentaries we helped structure will be screening on PBS. When Wire Was King and Alien (we cut the film and trailer) are recent NETA picks. Congratulations, directors!
NETA is a terrific way for independent filmmakers to receive distribution and promotion through America’s PBS and member stations. They broadcast about 1200 films per year, seen by millions!
Compare that to the 99 features picked by Sundance curators this year, and you can see how your odds for a NETA broadcast are at least ten times better! Alas, you’ll have to kick in some funds for promotion.
Also, NETA producers must conform their show length to PBS standards: 28:46 or 58:46. If you’re aiming for television broadcast, check out how we collaborate with directors to create a “TV cut down” here.
Last year, New Doc Editing story consulted and/or edited several documentaries that became NETA picks: The Lodge, We Said No! No!, The Coop Wars, and Baba Babee Skazala!
