Liz Watts to research new distribution models

Producer Liz Watts has received the Churchill Fellowship to travel to the US and Canada for six weeks in October/November, to explore innovative production and distribution practices, as well as content creation within independent cinema.

In the meantime, Watts is anxiously waiting for the US release of Animal Kingdom next week: “I can’t wait to see what happens,” she told Encore.

As part of her one-year research project, Watts will write a paper to share her findings with the local industry. She hopes to be able to publish this work.
