This course is for filmmakers. Whether you're a student, an independent filmmaker (early, late or established) or just someone who makes movies online for social media etc, this course is for you.

I am a filmmaker who joined the film industry in 2012 after life as a scientist. I always had to do my own marketing and distributing when it came to my films when I first started out. I learned a lot about marketing myself, creating a brand and finding an audience for my films. I learned the importance of press and the value in having an active social media presence. I want to share all of this with you as this has been a critical part of my filmmaking journey.
