Suggests: Harnessing Data for Audience Discovery with Jolt and CAN'T LOOK AWAY

With so many streaming platforms out there, how do standout documentaries and indie features actually find the audiences who need to see them? Though many decry that “film distribution is broken,” Jolt is taking a bold new approach—and it might just change the game for independent cinema.

Join Tara Hein-Phillips, Co-Founder and CEO of Jolt, for a live online session exploring how her platform is using cutting-edge tools to solve one of indie film’s biggest challenges: discovery. Unlike traditional streamers, Jolt’s unique Interest Delivery Network uses targeted data to match films with viewers who are already passionate about their themes—no algorithms or guessing in the dark.

Jolt is the exclusive digital home to festival-favorite documentaries Gaucho Gaucho (Sundance Film Festival) and Zurawski v Texas (Telluride Film Festival), as well as Hollywoodgate and The Bibi Files, two films shortlisted for the 2025 Best Documentary Feature Academy Award.
