Interviewed! + A Note About Publicity
Last weekend I was interviewed by Marian of the Wellywood Woman blog about my experience at Cannes and other film-related topics. The podcast is posted here. If I remember correctly, we originally connected about a year ago via Twitter. Yes, Twitter works!
(Yep, that’s me. I can think of ten thousand reasons why I don’t want to post this, or self-promote, or do publicity…)If you’re a filmmaker and you haven’t jumped onto Twitter, I might suggest you rethink that plan. I know some people like the idea of playing the aloof filmmaker type, but that rarely serves a new filmmaker well. Unless, you’re making Sundance and Cannes hits right out of the gate, not many people will care to pay attention to you without a little nudge from you. So, do this one fun little self-promotional tactic, and get yourself an account. (Yes, I said fun. Twitter can be fun!) I suggest you choose a Twitter handle that is close to your name— you’re building your brand, afterall. I know, it’s a little gross to think of yourself as a brand, but…you kinda are.

Nice post, Destri, you’re absolutely right. It’s hard to get past that idea that branding is kind of gross, but if you link it with personal values and a personal mission, at least to me, that’s REALLY what a brand is.
