How can the Queer Lounge promote my 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 18-28, 2007 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 the 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
- Place postcards and one-sheets of your film at our events
