• The old saying goes "if tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a noise?" You've made a film but no one has seen it....
• The whole point to making films is that it is not only a form of expression, but a chance to share it with audiences so that they can relate to your content, be inspired or entertained by the form of visual art you create therefore, if you're a filmmaker, a student or just finished making a film and need to promote it, this course will teach you, giving examples from my own personal experience how to:.

• Who am I?.
• 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..
