Film & documentary publicity
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.
You work directly with me, not a junior account manager.
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
When to bring me in
As early as you can. Positioning, timing and materials shape everything that follows, so I bring the strategic thinking in early, ideally before a festival submission or release date is fixed. If you are already selected or dated, I will focus on the press, screenings and moments that matter most.
How I work
I bring the strategic thinking early, then stay close to the details.
The positioning, trailer and artwork conversation, the press materials, the critics, the right partners, the screenings, the talent, the premiere and the audience response. The best campaigns are built around the individual project, not copied from the last one.
Over the years, I’ve built relationships across critics, editors, photographers, festivals, talent teams, distributors and industry partners in North America and internationally.
