The Circuit

Withoutabox has upped Fred Kramer to President and Trina Wyatt to COO. Kramer has been with the company from the beginning, responsible for building the company’s relationships with film festivals and filmmakers. Wyatt was COO of Tribeca Entertainment, and had a hand in creating the Tribeca Film Festival. 

Withoutabox’s success speaks to the galaxy of film festivals out there now.  With a few clicks, filmmakers can submit their film to a boatload of events. But a festival run certainly won’t put an indie in the black. So the site has grown into the natural next level – tools for real self-distribution including discussion boards, personalized websites, and industry contacts. Integrating FilmFinders was a natural step. And it’s good to see two smart people responsible for much of Withoutabox's success promoted.
