Distribute your promotional material well before the release date. Recently for Toronto Hot Docs I received films days before its showing. I had a waiting list of numerous films ahead the late arrivers. Help your reviewer plan.
Include a trailer/teaser.
Include stills of the film.
Include a synopsis of the film.
Indicate when the review can be posted and whether it should be a short or full review.
Incentivize the reviewer by stating review will be posted on social media giving the reviewer a chance to expand the audience.
Explain how and when the film will be released.
Describe if actors and directors can be interviewed.
Invite reviewers to any after parties.
Do not forget the reviewer and keep apprising of upcoming films.
