IFH 016: Getting Attention from Influencers – My Roger Ebert Story

Published: Oct. 20, 2015, 1 a.m.

I always get asked by indie filmmakers:
“How do I get attention for my indie film?”
This is one of the major challenges facing indie filmmakers/entrepreneurs in today’s noisy independent film landscape. One fast way is to get an “influencer” to focus a little light onto you or your project.
Now this is much easier said than done. When I promote my projects I approach every online indie film influencer I can.
This includes indie film sites, niche sites (around your subject matter), industry news outlets, film magazines, movie fan websites, film festivals, podcasters, conventions, and movie reviewers.
In this podcast I tell the story of how the legendary film critic Roger Ebert was so amazingly kind to a young filmmaker.
