Apply to Be a Guest on Matter: The Podcast

https://storage.tally.so/a25d2442-ae4b-45d3-8975-a96b27b93620/MATTER_THEPODCAST.png

Matter: The Podcast is a new conversation series from Matter Marketing & Distribution featuring filmmakers, creatives, and industry professionals.

The goal of the podcast is to demystify the film, series, marketing, and distribution process for indie and entry-level filmmakers while creating a platform for people to talk about their projects, their creative process, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.

We’re looking for guests who can bring real insight, experience, or perspective to the conversation. This may include filmmakers with active projects, producers, writers, actors, editors, animators, composers, distributors, festival programmers, marketers, film organizations, and other creative professionals.

Coming on the podcast is not just about promoting your work. It’s about giving people a closer look at what you’re building, how you’re building it, and what others can learn from your journey.

Episodes will be recorded remotely through Zoom or Google Meet. Throughout the summer, Matter: The Podcast will also be building out a physical set in the United States, PA, South Philadelphia, so if you live in Philadelphia or are able to commute to South Philadelphia, this is a great opportunity to potentially appear in person.

Please fill out the application information as accurately and thoughtfully as possible. These responses help us vet guests and make sure each conversation brings real value to the Matter community and reflects the values we stand for.

Matter does not tolerate hate speech, harassment, discrimination, or false claims of ownership over work you do not have the rights or permission to represent.

Guest applications are now open. Scheduling will begin at the end of the month, with episodes planned to begin this June.

Thank You!
