Broadcast Television /
Theatrical
Distribution
will be
entered into major film festivals across the country to
generate initial interest and press coverage. Our goal is to reach the
widest
audience possible in an attempt to raise awareness nationally about the
challenges veterans and their families face when returning from the
trauma of
war. Beyond theatrical distribution, we will position Beyond the Wall
for
national broadcast on Public Television, and/or major cable television
networks
such as HBO.
