PIE Week 2

The mission is to try to share films with people and get them to come to the theatre. I am helping my manager market some films by posting things on social media and telling people about the many films we show in one month. I contributing by reaching out to different people who have an interest. Yesterday, I dropped off our January Gazette at the Czech Republic office. They wanted gazettes because I believe we are showing a lot of Czech films in January. My manager got in contact with the console and a good way to get people to come to see us is if we reach out to a certain audience. My biggest takeaway is a lot goes into working at a theatre, especially an independent theatre because there aren't really commercial movies playing at the theatre. I think there's a different approach in marketing independent films because you have to reach certain groups of people to get them to watch the films we play.

This experience will help me in college because I definitely want to study film in college and work at a production studio as an intern or have that as an actual career. I will have to market movies, and if I'm a filmmaker, I'll have to figure out how to market my own movies.
