Sub-Genre implemented the entire release for these films, globally, including theatrical releases, tours, community screenings, broadcast sales, SVOD and all aspects of their digital release. Brian served as a liaison with all filmmakers, including negotiating contracts, story-editing and arranging festival appearances. Brian helped Patagonia launch a film grants program, and built the strategy for film and media during this consultation.
