Short films have been around for some time and are becoming increasingly popular today. Many short film makers are not just desirous of making a short film, but also have a greater desire, which to use these film to generate some amount of income. In cases like these, it is crucial that the film be marketed in such a way that persons will be drawn to them or at least know about them to watch them.
There are many ways to get your short film out there and generating revenue. One of the most efficient methods, especially where exposure and cost is concerned, is to enter your film in a competition or at a festival. These take place from time to time and so you will have to keep up-to-date to know when one will be taking place close by you.
If you have a film that is below 10mins, is funny and has good content you could have your film marketed by a short film distributor or sales agent. In order to get this done you would need to write a letter to a distribution company entailing any press material or reviews you may have, along with the reasons why you think this film will be a seller.
None of this is the fun part of film marketing, but it’s the most crucial part of film making.
