Solution Smithing: How to Create Press-Worthy Narratives, with Climate Film Fest

​Getting press coverage for your organization or event requires the right mix of people, timing, and narrative strategy. We aim to bring together anyone who has worked through (and continues to work through) storytelling challenges and opportunities, with the goal to learn from each other how to amplify your organization's story. We'll tackle together the core challenge of crafting a compelling narrative — around your org, your event, and the story they tell — that naturally draws promotion and press interest. No technical expertise needed; this is purely about storytelling and relationship-building.

​For this iteration of Solution Smithing, Climate Film Fest is advancing a challenge they’re working through, and we're bringing together an outstanding group of people (you!) for an action-oriented discussion and collective problem-solving. Not a panel, nor a pitch, but a 'doing' gathering.

​Please RSVP.

​What is Solution Smithing? For this gathering series, an organization or individual advances a solution they’re working through, and we bring together an outstanding group of people for an action-oriented discussion to engage in collective problem-solving.

​The event will consist of a walkthrough of Climate Film Fest's exhibition at Anew Café & Goods, followed by an in-depth brainstorm on the topic. We'll start promptly at 5:20pm. wrap up by 6:30pm, followed by mingling until 7pm.

​The Climate Film Festival is a cultural organization with an annual festival, year-round programming, and educational resources in New York City.

Its annual 2026 festival will be held from September 18-21.
