ABOUT
INDIE VISIBLE is a grassroots community engagement, impact and distribution agency based in San Francisco. We connect social issue documentaries to their core audiences, develop meaningful non-profit community partnerships, and create impact through community screening events. We represent filmmakers and work with distributors to design and execute successful festival, theatrical and educational releases. We help films engage audiences and make an impact by booking semi theatrical & educational screenings, developing meaningful partnerships and creating materials to support screening event hosts, venues and partners.
We respect greatly the power of stories, are committed to helping artists be sustainable in their our work.
“InDIE Visible has done it all and they have an excellent sense of what, in the pantheon of distribution and outreach choices, is effective and what is not.
— Nancy Kelly, award winning filmmaker
OUR WORK
artists & IMPACT
We represent filmmakers through to appear live at theatrical, community and VIP events. We design creative campaigns and educational materials; publicizing the campaign to a wide network of influencers, advocates, experts and like-minded community members; working together to map the movement ecosystem and design audience engagement and impact goals. Indie Visible identifies and engages partner organizations and key influencers to support screenings and impact campaigns.
GRASSROOTS OUTREACH
We conduct robust grassroots outreach campaigns working closely with national, regional and local organizations including university campuses, conferences, businesses, foundations and non-profit community groups to coordinate screening events. We create impactful campaign materials to support screening hosts. From informative one-sheets to in-depth, beautifully designed viewer discussion guides, our materials help reach audiences and spark meaningful dialogue and community action.
SCREENING events
Indie Visible crafts and executes targeted or large-scale screenings and audience engagement campaigns through which films are viewed by thousands of target audience members. We identify and grow each film’s audience, manage partnerships, book events and speaking appearances, assist groups in hosting successful screenings and measure impact. Screenings are often paired with facilitated discussions, ancillary materials and coordinated action steps to raise awareness, support organizing efforts and affect policy.
