• Second Session - The Role of the Publicist and Why You Need One
  Publicity is capable of making or breaking a film but it’s often overlooked by independent producers. Beginning in pre-production, publicists play a key role through production, post, festivals and distribution. Leading publicists disclose the dark arts of publicity, the value of crisis management and the achievements and horror stories behind successful independent and large budget campaigns.
