Keith Ochwat is a documentary filmmaker, distribution strategist, and educator. He is the Founder of Show&Tell, a virtual event platform and educational course. In collaboration with Peter Broderick, Keith consults with filmmakers to identify their audience, create powerful partnerships, and build sustainable creative careers. 

 

Keith produced three nationally broadcast PBS films chronicling the culture of Mongolia, a Uighur baseball team in Far-Western China, and the Senior Olympics. In addition to producing, Keith has developed and executed successful film distribution and audience engagement campaigns and created a virtual event platform and educational course called Show&Tell. 

​

For his most recent film, Age of Champions, Keith spearheaded a series of hybrid distribution campaigns, including a 20-state theatrical tour and grassroots screening campaign reaching over 3,000 community venues. Keith established partnerships with advocacy groups like AARP and the Alzheimer’s Association and companies like Cigna Health to propel his film’s engagement campaigns.
