Do you pay filmmakers when you screen their work? And what is a PEG Channel, please?

We screen in a number of cities* across the US, and we don't have submission fees. Please, do not hesitate to submit work.. Due to time restrictions we'd have a hard time screening anything longer than 28 minutes, ideally we're looking for pieces 0-10 minutes in length. You can find our episodes archived on youtube here.. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyP_qMpFYsPugsG0t_wnH64OV3LmQYmlj Send your links to [email protected] Likewise, if you're connected to a PEG channel and you'd like to run our show.. Please let me know and I can start delivering episodes immediately. -will erokan *We broadcast regularly in Los Angeles, Portland OR, Waukegan IL, North Liberty IA, Ithaca NY, etc On Tue, Apr 30, 2019 at 10:22 PM Adam Hyman <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes, thank you.
