Danielle DiGiacomo is the Head of Content at Utopia Media, where she leads acquisition, development, and packaging for incoming content and IP.\xa0

She is one of the coolest, realest ladies in the biz who has learned how to trust her gut to distribute the most exciting and daring films around.

She's open like a book and reads the industry like one, and we have the distinct pleasure of being privy to her knowledge and perspective.\xa0

DiGiacomo previously worked as senior VP of acquisitions and strategic partnerships at\xa0The Orchard\xa0and its rebranded company 1091. While there, she landed many buzzy independent films such as the Oscar-nominated documentary \u201cCartel Land,\u201d the Sundance comedy \u201cThe Overnight\u201d and the drama \u201cNeruda\u201d out of the Cannes Film Festival.

During this no holds barred conversation, we talk about the ins and outs of distribution, the art of negotiation, and how no one really knows what they're doing, so we might as well be kind to each other and have fun while we figure it all out.
