Picture Lock PR After Show: Patrick Shepherd
Happy Monday folks! I’ve got another great After Show for you with Patrick Shepherd. Typically, the after show is where I ask my guests two questions that cuts straight to great takeaways for how to improve the PR and marketing for your production and they throw one at me. However, since Patrick is more on the film festival side as you heard in Friday’s show, I decided to keep this conversation more focused on how filmmakers can get the most out of film festivals. He gave some great answers. Let me know what you think below or on social! Enjoy!
