The Micheaux Roadshow
The Oscar Micheaux Film & Media Institute is launching a touring programme for independent films, with curated screenings, filmmaker Q&As and press and industry introductions. Its hook is a return to Oscar Micheaux’s own roadshow approach: taking films directly to audiences, outside the traditional studio system.
Why it worked: It offered a concrete, time-bound touring schedule that revives Micheaux’s DIY distribution playbook, countering algorithmic discovery with verifiable in-person audiences.
The lesson: Consider announcing a travelling, time-stamped pop-up series that proves demand offline, creating local news moments and portable social proof.
