IFP Minnesota has just launched their “Independent Filmmaker Professional Development” seminar series and we are honored that they asked my producer and I to give a little talk about the promotional efforts we’ve enacted for Phasma Ex Machina. It should be a lot of fun and hopefully we’ll have ample time for Q&A.   Here’s the description:

Phantastic Promotion for Philm
Hosts: Matt Osterman & Jennifer Kramer
October 17, 2–4pm
Price: $10/$5 members/Free to IFP MN Fiscal Sponsorship Clients

Producer Kramer and writer/director Osterman have done a bang-up job of promoting their feature length supernatural film Phasma Ex Machina from its inception. Using social networks, YouTube, and other vehicles, Jennifer and Matt have had their film’s trailer go viral in a matter of hours. Phasma Ex Machina was invited to IFP NY’s Rough Cuts Lab in June and recently returned to NYC as one of ten films in the U.S. to be selected for the prestigious IFP Filmmakers Lab. Jennifer and Matt will discuss the many tactics and tools they implemented to call wide attention/attract funding to their movie.

Hope to see you there!
