About
Hi! I’m Caitlin Boyle, a documentary film producer and impact producer.
As a specialist in distribution and social impact, I have particular expertise in helping filmmakers who are seeking to combine robust commercial distribution with well-defined civic engagement and audience development efforts.
Bio
As an impact producer and distribution strategist, I’ve worked with a wide range of collaborators and clients, including Sundance Institute, Common Pictures, Together Films, Cinereach, Sub-genre, Level Forward, NEON, Magnolia Pictures, Patagonia, Timberland and The Climate Pledge—in addition to more than 500 independent film teams.
I also participate regularly as a mentor, juror and guest speaker for filmmaker support programs and festivals, including Film Independent’s Doc Producing Lab, Filmshop’s Breakthrough Pitch, The Gotham’s Doc Lab, Impact Partners’ Producer Fellowship, BAVC’s MediaMaker Fellowship, Collective Eye’s Work-in Progress Doc Grant and UnionDocs’ Collaborative Studio.
In addition to independent producing and consulting work, I’ve also had roles as Executive Director at Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival (2024-2025), Interim Director of Impact at Together Films (2023) and Director of Filmmaker Development and Director of Industry and Education at DOC NYC (2020-2022). From 2009-2019, I founded and served as Executive Director of Film Sprout, a boutique distribution company that pioneered the use of grassroots and campus networks to broaden the reach and impact of theatrical docs.
After more than a dozen years in New York City, I now live in Vermont with my family.
