How can I get a documentary televised?

Question

We have an after school music program that a producer made a documentary about. It has already won a few film festivals and is on it's way to winning a few more. We are trying to see if a station like PBS or something like that would pick it up but know NOTHING about the industry. How do you get documentary's in front of program managers?

Answer 1

Call your local PBS station. You may get passed around a bit, but explain your situation. They might put you in contact with someone at the national office who can point you in some directions.

By the way, I believe snagfilms.com shows a lot of documentaries for free, if you want to go that route.
