Distribution and Marketing 

Sweetheart Dancers

“Jon's knowledge of the field and of the rapidly changing landscape of distribution and social marketing was impressive, but even greater was his actionable planning, his get things done approach, his faith and respect for our first time filmmaker, and his collaborative spirit. Many consultants can explain things to filmmakers, but few are willing to roll up their sleeves and get to work. Jon was jet fuel for getting things done, and in a completely collaborative way that lifts the filmmaker and the project overall in the process."
