Developing a Promo Package for Indie Film
B.K. Coposky
Creating Visual Materials to Gain Attention
Simple things such as a business card, promo cards, internet presence through a company website, social networking; these and other aspects you overlook can make or break you! The only way to get known is to get your name out there! If nobody has ever heard of you, how are they going to know about your project?
This is one major flaw with creative types, who think Hollywood is going to come to them, and who end up unnoticed and could have been the next big thing! It's all about networking!! In the new digital age, we must also create our own audiences.
