'How to inspire the audience to buy a ticket? How to drive them to the theatres?' Every film maker must address this million dollar question.
At APC, we first understand your film; then we figure out the audience psyche. By mapping key elements of the movie to the audience profile, we generate excellent pre-release curiosity.
Appealing content and a strong distribution strategy, when combined with our focused film promotion tactics, lead to box office success.
The journey of your film from the studio to the screen involves a lot of hard work, perseverance and industry insight. Our objective is to make this journey smooth and financially rewarding.
Connecting and engaging your film with the audience is one of the keys to a grand opening. Creating outstanding promotional material and releasing it smartly (right place, right time) works up a positive buzz. We combine traditional methods of film promotion with innovative ideas to generate pre-release hype and to hold up the momentum even after the film is out.
