Make an Electronic Press Kit & Promote Your Movie to Film Festivals

If you’ve made a stellar independent film that’s ready to submit to film festivals, then you’ll need to make an Electronic Press Kit (EPK) and other marketing materials to get your film ready for festivals!

Sherene’s films have screened at over 60 film festivals worldwide, and has mentored other filmmakers on how to put together an EPK. 

In this class you’ll learn:

• How to make a template for your EPK that has the unique style and feel of your film
• What elements to include in the EPK and what order they should be in
• What makes a good logline, synopsis and biographies
• What is a director’s statement and how to write it
• What technical information or specs are needed about your film
• What to include in the Q & A section and prepare for answering live at festivals
• Which images or film stills are best to include in the EPK
• Setting up your digital footprint – the film’s website and social media handles
• Setting up your Vimeo or YouTube channel and tips for making a trailer

This class is best for producers, filmmakers, documentarians, film editors and animators who have completed film and are considering, or have already submitted to, film festivals. If you’re still in the process of making a film, this class is helpful as long as you’re in the post-production phase of your film.
