S.F. FROZEN FILM FESTIVAL ADVICE
SOME PR POSSIBILITIES
To best publicize your film, write a one page press release about it and send it to local media, nonprofits, and related groups. Writing about why S.F. Bay Area peeps would be extremely interested in the film helps your chances in having it featured. Look up press releases on the internet if you do not have one yet. They are simple to write and very affective. Then email the release in the body of an email to the following possible areas. Below are a few contacts in the SF Bay Area to get you started. We advise sending as many as possible to as many different groups and publication that you can for best results.
