We’ve got a very special BEHIND THE LENS for you this week as we welcome publicist and CEO of BIG TIME PR, Sylvia Desrochers, and attorney Brandon Leopoldus of THE LEOPOLDUS PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION to help answer filmmaker questions about publicity, hiring the right publicist, marketing, licensing, contracts, clearances, script submissions to agencies or studios, distribution, film festivals, and more.
It is a great privilege to also have director/documentarian Leslee Udwin joining us in the first half of the show to talk about her powerful documentary, INDIA’S DAUGHTER. An advisor to the United Nations Human Rights Commission and recipient of the Anna Lindh Human Rights Award, Leslee brings the story of INDIA’S DAUGHTER and the gang rape and murder of 23-year old medical school student from the global headlines onto movie screens, shining a light on the need for global gender equality. And hand in hand with this week’s BTL theme of helping filmmakers, you hear first hand from Leslee the importance of Sylvia Desrochers and BIG TIME PR in bringing a film, and issue like this, to light for not only audiences, but in its race to the Academy Awards.
In our last segment, CIRCLE actor and producer Michael Nardelli talks with us about this fascinating sci-fi psychological thriller that speaks to the very fabric of human nature.
