INDIE FILM TOURING 101: WHAT YOU NEED TO TAKE IT ON THE ROAD
Fed up with waiting for distributors and film festivals to get your work out there? This workshop is aimed to provide marketing savvy, technical and practical execution, secret tricks, and the inspiration that you need to accomplish anything – when you put your mind to it, and take your film on the road!
In April 2010, Sean MacPherson embarked on an international film tour, bringing his feature film to the big screen across Canada and the US, screening at venues in Seattle, Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, and many others. The results were promising. Press was friendly – CBC, CTV, and Calgary Sun to name a few— and at the end a distribution deal was signed. Currently residing in Toronto, Sean brings his expertise on independent touring and self-releasing to Cineworks, sharing his knowledge on important venues and contacts in Canada, tips on conducting interviews and press/internet marketing campaigns, as well as ways to tap into local audiences and develop buzz surrounding your project.
