Indie Film Marketing:
Strategy and Audiences
Virtual Workshop
Marketing is often an afterthought when it comes to your indie projects. But if you ever wished you could learn what was in the heads of your audience and how to reach them, then this course is for you. We adapted and simplified professional marketing techniques, so you can start developing your indie film marketing strategy.
The earlier you start, the more compelling this will be. With a solid strategy and understanding of your audience, you can make effective decisions fast and guide both your team and you into creating and diffusing the story that will resonate the most with your audience.
By the end of this workshop, you will have a solid understanding of professional marketing techniques adapted to indie films. You will be able to:
- Understand basic marketing strategies covering the four stages of your viewer’s journey.
- Research and build a practical viewer’s persona, listing online behaviors, interests, locations, social media activities, etc.
- Develop a marketing strategy backed by research and data.
This workshop is best for people who are currently working on a project.
Once you enroll, you will have access to a course you will need to take before attending the workshop, which will focus on live and group exercises.
Space is minimal, so if you’re interested in this workshop, register before the available spots fill up!

Nadim has worked on award-winning short fiction and documentary films and with companies like the National Film Board of Canada, The National Geographic Channel, and The Smithsonian Channel. By far, his favorite projects are still indie documentary films.
