Rex Sikes' Movie Beat chats with Orly Ravid film acquisition

Orly Ravid, PT 3 Co-Executive Director The Film Collaborative At TFC, Orly works primarily on distribution, sales/licensing and contract/negotiation services with a focus on new media digital distribution. She also handles theatrical releases. A “big picture” thinker, Orly created TFC in response to a dominant and overarching structure that favors middlemen, not filmmakers. Her intense diligence in protecting filmmakers' rights and revenues is equally matched by her passion for art film and socio/political issue-focused documentaries. Orly is committed to helping artistically and intellectually rigorous and important films reach their respective audiences via a financial model that is sustainable for filmmakers. She is also a programming consultant at Palm Springs International Film Festival and a Programming Associate for documentaries at Sundance. Her past affiliations include Senator Entertainment (VP Acquisitions and Distribution); Wolfe Releasing (Director: Acquisitions, Theatrical, Non-Theatrical, Business Affairs and Digital Distribution); Ravid Film Consulting (Distribution and Marketing for filmmakers and distributors); Maxmedia (Development); Amazing Movies & Picture This! Entertainment (Acquisitions, Distribution and Sales); and Outfest (Board of Directors and Associate Programmer). Orly received my B.A in English Literature and with a minor in Film from Columbia University.
