Cheryl will be teaching a workshop on Publicity 101: The Must-Know Filmmaker’s Guide to Publicity

Cheryl will use her experience as both a filmmaker and publicist to guide other filmmakers and media professionals into getting the free publicity they desire for their small independent films or other projects. Because press coverage adds instant credibility to a film, business, organization or individual (more than any form of paid advertising), it is critical that proper media etiquette be used in order to achieve success in publicity efforts.

This workshop will enable filmmakers with a small budget to do their own publicity, with little or no previous publicity experience. Attendees will learn the skills needed to identify the newsworthy stories surrounding their film, create unique and compelling angles for news coverage, pinpoint the proper timing for stories, target proper media outlets, distribute press releases, pitch stories and book interviews. She will also discuss press kit preparation as well as coordination of production stills and behind the scene interviews. Attendees will leave this seminar with the tools needed to effectively promote their films or other projects to a national audience.
