Hamptons Film has reached a critical inflection point — it needs to increase earned and corporate-contributed revenue to improve financial sustainability.

Nonprofit: Hamptons International Film Festival

Hamptons Film, founded in 1992, offers year-round screenings of global narrative and documentary films, a world-renowned 11-day film festival in October, a summer documentary program, a unique Screenwriters Lab, and extensive educational initiatives. Its programs seek to enlighten, educate, and provide invaluable exposure for accomplished and aspiring filmmakers, while also providing the East End of Long Island with an educational and cultural experience that enriches the lives of its citizens and contributes to the local economy.

Project: Increase Financing

Hamptons Film has grown rapidly and is now one of the world’s leading film festivals. To support this, Hamptons needs stronger financing. The brainstorming will identify opportunities for new or expanded contributed and earned revenue streams.

The objective of the session is to:

• Recommend revenue growth opportunities around membership, year-round events, digital content, and licensing.
• Recommend strategies to deepen existing corporate sponsorship and attract new sponsors in the entertainment, media, luxury, and finance sectors
