MEDIA THAT MATTERS launches a 10-CITY TOUR in June!

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Media That Matters, we’re hitting the road with a 10-city tour of tenth annual Media That Matters collection in the month of June.

10 years
10 cities
10 screenings

We launched the tour with simultaneous premieres in NYC and Minneapolis last week. Over 400 people attended our NYC premiere on June 2 and audience members in Minneapolis were able to ask questions of MTM filmmakers (via Facebook and Twitter) and then watch the Q+A (via UStream). Two days later, Media That Matters hopped the pond for a London premiere, presented by our partners Working Films and Shooting People , for a sold-out screening at the Frontline Club.

Read on to see if Media That Matters is coming to a city near you!
