January 19 (Saturday) Workshop: Guerilla Marketing and Self-Distribution of your Film
Instructor: Filmmaker Kelley Baker
Time: 9:00 AM - Noon
Fee: $30 General $15 Student
Independent filmmaking is alive and well, it's independent distribution that is dead. At a time when "independent" films have to have a star and at least a couple million-dollar budget, how do you get your films seen? Forget Sundance, Miramax, and PBS. These places get hundreds of submissions a year. How do you get your films seen? From wooden nickels to websites, to press kits and reviews Kelley Baker walks you though different ways to get an audience to turn out for your screenings. He challenges you to assess the real market for your film and provides examples of other filmmakers getting their work out, after their films were turned down by traditional distributors. Seating limited. Pre-registration with payment guarantees a spot in the workshop. Call 344-3482 to register. Download registration form.
