Bunker 15 getting started with your film

• Link to trailer
• Link to film / password / (if necessary) Login
• Link to Stills / photos
• • Stills photos should be in a google drive or dropbox or some other public folder that any critic can go to and download a still. If you need to grant permission to the folder, then it should be made “public”
  • Don’t send the stills in a zip file. Critics don’t want to receive a 50Mg email. Just the link.
  • Journalists typically request hi-res images. If the image isn’t at least 2Mg then it’s probably too low-resolution.
  • Behind the scenes images are usually not used by the journalists. they want stills from the movie itself. It’s ok to have scenes of the production in there, but I haven’t seen them used in the articles.
• Synopsis (roughly a paragraph – longer than a logline)
• Hi-res poster
• A press release and other marketing material for film – including awards? Festivals? i.e. “Puff material” … Braggadocio. Why does a Critic want to watch your film?
• Any press that is on a blacklist / Is there a do-not-contact list?
• Embargo dates, if any? (meaning: are there dates before which you do NOT want the press published)
• Is any talent from film available for interviews should a publication ask?
• Date of Release (Optional, if film is not yet distributed)
• Type of Release (Theatrical, SVOD, TVOD, DVD, etc)
• Platforms (if TVOD or SVOD)
• • Preferably, your top 2-3 Watch-Now (or Buy-Now) Links. Do you want these on Rotten Tomatoes?
• Geography of Release (US only, International, or Other combination?)
• Are you able to ship physical DVD’s to critics that won’t review any other way?
• Do you need a Rotten Tomatoes Page Setup or updated in some way?
