The Microlending Film Project currently has no formal distribution model in place. Upon completion of principal photography in mid-2011 we will make ourselves available to both traditional and newly conceived distribution models in an effort to make an impact on as wide an audience as possible.
Distribution
At a length of 80-85 minutes, The Microlending Film Project will be accessible for broadcast on a variety of channels: HBO, Showtime, PBS, The History Channel, Sundance, and IFC. Additionally, The Microlending Film Project will feature an accompanying educational curriculum so that it may be screened and discussed in classroom settings at the middle school through University levels. The curriculum will be designed to encourage students to examine the state of development and the role of microfinance therein; it will call attention to the great need for transparency and regulation within the market if it is to be truly helpful and sustainable, and examine the promise of mobile banking and of domestic microfinance models.
