🎬 CLIENT SPOTLIGHT: Athens Film Festival

We’re thrilled to spotlight the Athens Film Festival, which is putting independent filmmakers and bold storytelling center stage in the Classic City!

Now in its third year, the festival features 80+ films across five venues, bringing together local and international voices through four days of screenings, premieres, panels and creative connection. Atlanta News First recently highlighted the festival and its mission to make great cinema accessible to everyone.

We’re proud to support a festival that celebrates filmmakers, champions Georgia’s creative community and gives great stories the audience they deserve. 🎥

In addition to our CEO's first panel, she is thrilled to be moderating another conversation at the 50th Atlanta Film Festival—this one centered on Marketing and PR. We’re tackling one of the most critical (and often overlooked) aspects of filmmaking: positioning your film from day one. It will take place on Thursday, April 30th at 11:30 am at the Tara Theatre.

What separates films that get seen from those that get overlooked isn’t just the story—it’s strategy, timing, and how you build momentum long before release. This panel will explore how filmmakers can market their work from script to screen, build visibility at every stage, and grow an engaged audience that shows up when it matters most.

From early development to festival premieres, we’ll dive into how to start marketing before your film is even shot, how to use behind-the-scenes content effectively, what festivals and press respond to, and how to build an audience through strategic storytelling and social media.
