Yvette, You should submit it to several appropriate festivals and begin researching various distributors that put out documentaries. Area23a puts out documentaries and event-driven and issue-based films. HBO is known for pushing documentaries for Oscars. The more festivals - especially BIG ones that you play - the better your chances to qualify for an Oscar, which will help you with distribution. But, for a documentary, I do think you should be playing festivals - a good amount of them. Hope this helps. GOD BLESS and STAY FRESH!
Thank you Sam. I appreciate the info. I have submitted it to a couple festivals, but not nearly enough.
Doc NYC is a pretty good one : http://www.docnyc.net/
