Why sponsor?
For 35 years, DCTV has proven its commitment to filmmaking, the community and the next generation of New York filmmakers. We've produced Emmy-award winning films airing on HBO, PBS, Cinemax and more; we have been recognized as the most honored non-profit media center in the nation and we're about to get a lot better.
In 2006, DCTV was awarded $2.4 million in capital grants to begin construction of a state-of-the-art public cinema, new editing suites, and upgraded facilities (event space, a coffee shop, bar and lounge) in its landmark Tribeca firehouse. Within the next two years, DCTV will be the ultimate destination for indie film in NYC, not only for filmmakers, but also for film lovers.
Sponsorship means that you will not only be supporting the fantastic work that we do, but that you'll be promoted in our expanding audience of influential young filmmakers in the New York filmmaking community. This a great opportunity to jump on board an organization with a fantastic reputation and brand your product or service within the insular indie film community of New York and the large audience that it effects. Our events regularly draw in hundreds of avid industry insiders, film fanatics and young trendsetters looking to have a good time. There is no better way to get your product the exposure it deserves than by putting it or your brand in the hands and minds of your target market.
