Working with a film publicist

Yes. When you hire Sicily Publicity, you work directly with me, not a junior account manager handed a template before they know your film, your story or what is at stake for you.

Film, documentary, music, talent and events. I founded Sicily Publicity to give independent projects the kind of focused, connected and creative support that is too often reserved for the biggest releases.

Not necessarily. High-profile results are possible without an unlimited budget when the story is strong and the plan is smart. Every campaign is built around the individual project, so tell me what you are working with.

Sicily Publicity is based in New York. I started out in UK distribution and freelanced in Berlin, and I work with critics, editors, festivals, talent teams and distributors in North America and internationally.

As early as you can. I bring the strategic thinking early, because positioning, the trailer and artwork conversation and the press materials shape what happens at the festival or on release. I work with films at every stage, from early strategy through festivals, theatrical or digital release, and the long tail beyond opening week.

Press notes, a synopsis, an EPK, a trailer, artwork, film clips and approved stills. If some of these are missing or not quite right, a distribution-readiness review is a good place to start.

Yes. Independent filmmakers often need straight answers before they need a bigger campaign. I offer practical, bespoke consulting to help shape the route to market, prepare the right materials and make informed decisions about how a film can be seen.

Yes, from a small screening to a major festival launch: premiere and festival-event strategy, guest and talent management, red-carpet planning, press lines and post-event coverage.
