Helping the Independent Filmmakers of Today
Effective marketing can help independent films reach their target audience, generate buzz and interest, and ultimately drive box office success. It can also help the film get noticed by industry professionals and potentially lead to distribution deals or lead to more opportunities in the future.
Marketing can take many forms, including social media campaigns, targeted advertising, press outreach, and grassroots efforts like screenings and Q&A sessions. The specific marketing tactics used will depend on the film, the audience, and the resources available.
“Curt Doty is a masterful social media strategist and designer who can elevate an independent documentary or drama combining the essence of a film of TV series with graphic clarity to capture the movie-watching public’s attention of the title—and the message behind it. Bold. Elegant. Arresting. Using brilliant images and a few words, he can move the viewer by conveying the artistry, intensity and intention behind a cinematic work of art that makes it compelling and lifts it well above the ordinary. He’s a font of creative ideas and a joy with who to work.”
- GLENN SILBER, DIRECTOR
Connect the Dots of Multi-channel Marketing
It is more important than ever to understand the new landscape of film distribution. Streamers are now just as important as a theatrical release, with the ability to produce or buy the rights to many more films than a typical studio might. Get your voice heard. Connect with a wider audience.

I am a storyteller at heart and I want to tell your stories.”
