Finding an Audience for Indie Films in 2018 with Shaked Berenson

Today's guest is a returning champion Shaked Berenson from Epic Pictures. On this special edition Sundance episode Shaked and I discuss marketing and finding an audience for your indie films in 2018. We discuss their recent acquisition of the Horror Blog/Brand Dread Central and how you can use today's tools to find your audience. 

Shaked has produced films like the cult hit Turbo Kid (SXSW Audience Award), Entertainment (Official Sundance Film Festival Selection) and the animated film Space Dogs: Adventure to the Moon. What is great about Shaked is that he has created his own ecosystem. From financing to production to distribution, all under one umbrella. This way he cuts out the middleman and he can keep more of the profits.

Thanks again to Media Circus PR who co-produced these podcasts episodes with me. Enjoy my interview with Shaked Berenson.

IFH 221: Finding an Audience for Indie Films in 2018 with Shaked Berenson

;;;;;;;;;New EP out SOON;;;;;;;;;

Tick, tock, tick, tock, squawk..

From the scum of the great water, after the dredge, in the sludge, shiny happy little toys did remain.

Many years passed. ..

Disguised as just another plaything, the toys arrived, in boxes, sweet little glittery pills, shiny, sparkling, addictive.. Here a chorus from a Boston séance. There, a boxcar shampoo hook, sleepy Athens, Georgia style. Everywhere, cold Wire synth washes, sprinkles, jabs and prefab lilts sprouting. Stories from before, during and after the days of the great plains. Decidedly New Wave..

Executives played with the toys, they played and played, soon they became alive and broke rank, exploding with mischievous energy, sparking, fizzlin, and taking the suits down with 'em.
