What filmmakers need to know about our public TV future
Funding cuts to PBS are making headlines, but how much is fear and how much is fact?

With experience helping 100+ filmmakers land national PBS broadcasts and raise over $10 million in sponsorships, Show&Tell shares what to expect and where the opportunities still exist.
