Held since 2019, Reach – Audience Matters is a BrLab program that addresses the issue of audience design and audience development. It is open to the public and focuses on audience design for audiovisual projects in the development stage, bringing important players from the national and international market to highlight current trends and crucial ideas in the business.

In times of Blockchain, Streaming funding platforms, Big Data and other innovative technologies, we are constantly realizing the importance of connecting these concepts to a larger audience of professionals and discussing how important audience engagement is throughout a film’s life, from its development and financing stages to its distribution.

The program is completely free and is broadcast live with Brazilian Sign Language accompaniment on the BrLab YouTube channel, where the recordings are available to everyone.

More information about the BrPlot 2024 schedule and themes coming soon.
