Dawn Porter is a filmmaker who used Kickstarter to fund "Trapped," a documentary that follows abortion clinics in the South that are struggling to remain open in an increasingly hostile political climate. We're excited to see Dawn at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival (where Trapped) will premiere, and leading up to that, we chatted about:

* Identifying your key audience
* Planning events around the premiere of your film
* Heading to film festivals, and specifically, Sundance!

Looking for Dawn online? You can find her on Twitter @DawnPorterM or on Kickstarter (http://kck.st/TrappedKSR).
