We not only raise awareness for a film and its subject matter, but also for the creators and filmmakers of a project, thus drawing media attention to documentary producers, directors, production companies and programmers. Dish often becomes involved in pertinent outreach programs that the filmmaker, distributor, network or production company feel are relevant to a film's content.

Dish has represented films from their first festival acceptance to their television or theatrical debut. We have been instrumental in assisting our clients to win various awards including Academy Awards®, Emmys and Peabodys, in addition to top honors at film festivals including Sundance, Toronto and Cannes.
