Hi, I'm Lisa.
Over the last 20 years, I’ve worked with hundreds of filmmakers and distributors to help films find their audience — whether that’s at a major festival, in a crowded theatrical market, or online where anyone can watch, share, and connect.
I’ve promoted films with major distributors and micro-budget documentaries with no team and all dream.Â
I created Publicity Essentials for Independent Films because too many filmmakers are left in the dark when it comes to promoting their work — and no one should have to guess their way through such an important part of their film’s journey.
This training is your first step toward changing that.
Your film deserves attention.
You just need to know how to earn it.
We’ve supported dozens of films — from microbudget indies to major award-winners — and we know what actually moves the needle when it comes to visibility and media attention.
This free training will show you how to take control of your film’s promotion with clear, actionable steps. You’ll learn the exact strategies I’ve used to help filmmakers land coverage in outlets like The New York Times, build momentum for festival premieres, and generate reviews that boost a film’s profile.
And you’ll get a special invite into our full program, Publicity Essentials for Independent Films, if you’re ready to go even deeper.
