Promote your LGBT Film at the festival

How can we promote your film?

Your film MUST be an Official Selection of Sundance, Slamdance or one of the concurrent film festivals in Park City, screening generally from January 21-30, 2010 and 1) have substantial queer-content which is defined as major queer plotline/subject matter, subplot, character(s) or sensibility or 2) your film is directed by a queer-filmmaker. Then Queer Lounge can help you publicize your film for FREE.

• Place the screening time(s) and venues of your film in our Queer Lounge program, several thousand copies of which will be distributed potential audience members and film professionals such as distributors, agents, financiers, crew members.
• Place the screening times(s) and venue(s) of your film on our website

Consider our efforts a great way to promote your film, especially if you are an independent filmmaker or producer who may not have the means to hire a publicist for your film. You've already gone through the gruel of making your film. Rest easier that audiences in Park City are taking note of your film.
