Film, talent and event publicity

I’ve spent my career helping films, filmmakers, talent and events find the audience they deserve.

Film & Documentary PR

From early strategy to the long tail beyond opening week.

I work with films and documentaries at every stage — from early strategy through festivals, theatrical or digital release, and the long tail beyond opening week. The aim is simple: make the right people care, then give them a reason to talk about it.

What’s included

  • Festival and release strategy, including campaign timing and target-audience planning
  • Press screenings, critic outreach, interviews and review-quote strategy
  • Press notes, synopsis, EPKs, trailers, artwork, film clips and approved stills
  • Brand partnerships, promotional opportunities, premieres and audience-facing events
  • Cast, director and producer media coordination
  • Campaign messaging across theatrical, home entertainment and digital releases

Talent PR

A public profile that feels credible, consistent and true.

I help filmmakers, directors, performers and creative talent build a public profile that feels credible, consistent and true to who they are. Whether the focus is one release, a festival moment or a longer-term career conversation, the work begins with the story you want people to remember.

What’s included

  • Personal positioning and media narrative
  • Press introductions, interviews, profiles and thought-leadership opportunities
  • Festival, premiere, panel and awards-season visibility
  • Media coaching and preparation for key interviews
  • Launch strategy around a new film, series, album, event or career milestone
  • Ongoing publicity guidance that connects individual talent with the wider campaign

Events & Premieres

From a small screening to a major festival launch.

A premiere or industry event should feel effortless to the people in the room, even when there are a hundred moving pieces behind it. I oversee the publicity and guest-facing detail — from a small screening to a major festival launch — so the event has the right audience, atmosphere and press impact.

What’s included

  • Premiere, screening and festival-event strategy
  • Venue, schedule and run-of-show coordination
  • VIP, talent, filmmaker, partner and industry guest management
  • Red-carpet planning, photographers, press lines and interview coordination
  • Invitations, RSVP management and targeted guest-list development
  • Listings, diary press, event announcements and post-event coverage

Distribution Consulting

Straight answers on the route to market.

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.

What’s included

  • Early-stage marketing and audience strategy
  • Distribution-readiness review: trailer, artwork, synopsis, stills, clips and EPK
  • Festival and release-pathway guidance
  • Positioning for distributors, sales agents, partners and audiences
  • Connections with trusted distribution specialists where appropriate
  • Clear next steps tailored to the film, its scale and its ambitions

Social & Digital Strategy

Keep a project visible before, during and after release.

Social media should extend the campaign, not become another thing to keep up with. I help build platforms from the ground up or bring structure to an existing presence, creating content and conversation that keep a project visible before, during and after release.

What’s included

  • Social-platform setup, channel priorities and editorial direction
  • Campaign messaging, content pillars and rollout calendars
  • Film clips, stills, behind-the-scenes material and talent-led content
  • Audience engagement and community-building strategy
  • Social-impact campaigns and partnerships with relevant organisations
  • Ongoing digital support that keeps the public narrative moving

How a campaign runs

The best campaigns are built around the individual project, not copied from the last one.

  1. 01

    First conversation

    We talk through the project, the story, who needs to hear it and what is at stake for you.

  2. 02

    Strategy & positioning

    Festival or release route, campaign timing and target audience, plus the positioning, trailer and artwork conversation.

  3. 03

    Materials

    Press notes, synopsis, EPK, clips and approved stills, ready before the press needs them.

  4. 04

    Campaign

    Critics, press screenings, interviews, talent, partners and the premiere.

  5. 05

    The long tail

    Audience response, review quotes and digital support that keep the story moving beyond opening week.

Before you get in touch

All questions

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.

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.
