Promote Your Film

What happened to that film you made that you thought had an edge to it? Is it still sitting on the shelf somewhere doing nothing but collecting dust? Well get it out and promote your film. You will never know how good or bad it is until it has been judged somewhere by someone. Enter your film in festivals, let them judge your work and you may be pleasantly surprised at the results.

Another way to promote your film is on the Internet. Although it may not be the best way to promote, it is promotion and with some films it has worked wonderfully. The big theater thing only happens occasionally, so while you’re waiting, get some exposure to the public. Design your own web page and get that movie on its way to those that can judge it best, the public.

There are always other well-known sites looking for something new to add to their websites. Maybe your film will be mentioned on their web to give you better promotion and the best thing about this is it doesn’t cost any money while still providing you with exposure.

Some TV Cable shows have web sites and there is always a chance that your film will be picked up to find a place on their show. Try anything you have to, to get your film known to the world of the moviemakers.

There are many festivals that you can enter that don’t cost any money in entry fees. If some do charge, it is a very minimal fee so why wouldn’t you give it a try. You have to start somewhere. After all, when you decided to make your movie that was your intention to get it exposed to the public.
