Services and Festivals

During script development, our focus is on VOICE. Together, we work on crafting the language of the film as well as making sure the project delivers on all points of entry for audience, industry and programmers.  We collaborate and co-produce on shorts, as well as on documentary and fiction feature films. 

During production, we provide unit publicity services creating the best film marketing deliverables for the project. We create  on-set interviews with key cast and creative crew, work hand in hand with the set photographer for iconic imagery and set stills, direct behind-the-scenes footage, and facilitate press set visits. 

We work as strategic festival publicists for your film at A-list festivals such as Sundance, Berlin, Rotterdam, Hot Docs, Karlovy Vary and Toronto in addition to a number of other specialized festivals. We serve as your press agents, festival team liaison and coordinator. Coverage is not guaranteed but we prioritize trade reviews, national and international coverage, as well as domestic press attention and social media outreach. We work directly with the film team, as well as with sales agents. We are not party publicists.
