Become a Sponsor — Partner with Sight, Sound & Story

At Sight, Sound & Story, we’re more than a speaker series — we are a premier platform for elite filmmakers, editors, and cinematographers to share their craft with a global audience. Produced by Manhattan Edit Workshop (MEWShop), our brand is synonymous with excellence in post-production, cinematography, and the art of visual storytelling. Each year, we bring top-tier talents — ACE, ASC, Emmy and Oscar-winning voices — into conversation with an engaged community of industry professionals, students, and enthusiasts.

When you sponsor Sight, Sound & Story, your brand aligns with this reputation of excellence, reaching a highly targeted audience of film professionals, content creators, media executives, and students of craft. Your support helps us produce free, high-quality programming — and in return, we offer you unmatched visibility, engagement, and brand association within the creative filmmaking community.
