How Cinema News Wire Can Help You

Cinema News Wire is an information resource for film distributors, journalists, tv and radio show producers, and independent film producers.

Our Selected News provides links to stories of interest to independent film producers.

Our Featured Films are of interest to film industry professionals and journalists interested in learning about our clients' completed projects, and also their projects in development.

When I do a press release distribution for a client, I refer the journalists to my client's page where they can download the press release and other relevant information.  Here's a sample of Richard Yeagley's The Tradesmen: Making an Art of Work, which included clips of Dirty Jobs' Mike Rowe.

Baltimore journalists used that page to obtain introductory information on the film before they prepared their coverage of his premiere and subsequent screenings.  You can see how Michael Sragow covered the film as a result of our publicity outreach.

Many times journalists like Michael who visit our pages to learn about a specific client, will browse the site and then inquire about other films on the site.

Our Noteworthy section displays films that may be of interest to media outlets and distributors.

Here are four samples of Noteworthy section pages that I prepared for these four producers:  Frank Huguenard, Sebastian Doggart, Victor Goss, and Gavin Rapp.

The Noteworthy section is passive marketing.  Google and other search engines routinely index our sites, so those pages will be returned to people using those search engines searching for the terms and phrases included in those pages.

We also provide active publicity and marketing services to independent producers and production companies who would benefit from professional outreach to media outlets and potential distributors.

I encourage you to submit your project for editorial consideration for our Noteworthy section.

Please feel free to contact me for more information about our sites and services through the Cinema News Wire Contact page.
