Introduction to Brave New Theaters

Filmmakers think their job is to make the film and then someone else will distribute it for them. They dream they will go to Sundance, sign with the Weinstein brothers and win an Oscar. Eventually reality sets in and they realize that if anyone is going to see their film, it's up to them to make it happen. Brave New Theaters will help these filmmakers reach a diverse audience using the distribution methods that have made the documentaries of Brave New Films a success.

In 2007, Brave New Theaters facilitated 1,547 screenings for the 189 films currently on the site. Some of the most popular films included "American Blackout" (black voter disenfranchisement in the 2004 elections), "9/11 Press for Truth" (the perspective of 9/11 families), "War Made Easy" (50-year pattern that has dragged the United States into war), "The Ground Truth" (young Iraq veterans) and "Sir, No Sir" (the GI peace movement during Vietnam war).
