Creating engaging promotional materials for your film is an essential part of getting it seen. The visual, audio and any other promotional aid must reflect the film faithfully while arousing curiosity. We will assist you in designing convincing stand-out materials. There is also the challenging task of navigating the festival circuit and applying for the right one. Together we will come up with a festival strategy which guarantees maximum exposure to your film.
