The Filmmaker’s Podcast #366: The importance of PR & Marketing when producing movies with Clare Bateman King producer of ‘Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose’ and ‘The Tower’

The importance of PR & Marketing when producing movies – For this special Part 2 of ‘Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose’ we speak to producer, PR and Marketing expert Clare Bateman King all about what you need (and should have) to promote your indie films. Clare sat down with Giles Alderson and Dom Lenoir to discuss:

Why you put money from your budget into marketing your films and how much.

Why you should do your own press and marketing for your films (and premiere – should the distributor not want to do one)

She talks about how she became a film producer and why it is important we keep the good people in the industry.

And why she is looking to set up her own distribution company.
