Zero Budget Movie Marketing:
How to Promote Your Movies & Your Filmmaker Career After You’ve Exhausted Your Film Budget by Gavin Michal Booth

​

You made your movie. You’ve spent your budget. Now you have to market your film to festivals, distributors and/or the public at large. This workshop is intended for film directors and producers looking for ways to grow an audience, learn from a filmmaker who has “been there done that” and found great success thinking outside of the box when it comes to movie marketing without a budget. If you’ve made or are about to make a movie, your film deserves to be seen. Take some of the mystery out of how to stand out in a crowded indie film marketplace.

The workshop is intended for all ages and will appeal to novices and experienced filmmakers alike. Reservations are not required but seating is on a first-come basis. This workshop is free and open to the public.
