You made the movie. Let's fill the seats.
FilmFuel is Film Marketing and PR for indie filmmakers. Pre-distribution buzz, festival runs, premieres and streaming launches, built to get real people watching. Because a great film nobody sees is a crime.
Fuel for every stage.
Every film is somewhere on the gauge. I build the plan around where yours is right now, then keep pushing the needle toward full.
- stage 01
Pre-distribution
Build buzz before anyone's bought it. Audience, story and a social presence that makes buyers lean in.
- stage 02
Festival run
Laurels, screenings, press and posts that turn a selection into momentum.
- stage 03
Premiere
Invites, red carpet content, press outreach and a full room.
- stage 04
Release + streaming
"Now streaming" that actually moves the needle, with ads aimed at the people who'll press play.
What's in the tank.
For filmmakers and distributors. Pick the pieces you need, or hand me the whole release.
Marketing strategy
A custom plan for each stage of your film's life, from micro-targeted social to influencer partnerships and press timing.
Social + digital
Behind the scenes clips, polls, Q&As, community management and influencer outreach that builds a real fanbase, not just followers.
Public relations
Press releases, media placements and outreach to critics, journalists, bloggers and tastemakers, together with publicist Nicole Muj.
Paid media
Ads on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, plus Amazon and streaming placements, aimed at the people who'll actually watch.
Tracking in real time
Every campaign measured and adjusted as it runs, so your budget follows the audience.
PR + marketing. One crew.
Most films get a publicist or a marketer, and the two never talk. FilmFuel is both, working as one team. I run the marketing, social and paid media. Nicole Muj of Kultura PR runs the press. Same plan, same timeline, same goal: getting your film seen.

Nicole Muj
Founder of Kultura PR. Press releases, media placements and the critics, journalists and tastemakers who get people talking.
We also run a film festival.
Nicole and I produce the French Riviera Film Festival together, so we know festivals from both sides of the velvet rope: what programmers want, and how to make a selection actually pay off.
Out in the wild.
Premieres, festivals, red carpets and the occasional after party. This is where the work happens.
Now showing.
"Sometimes people come into your life and help. Not only help, but believe in what you do."
Thomas Leon, Something Divine
Fair questions.
Do you work with distributors too?
Yes. I work with filmmakers and distributors, on one film or a whole slate.
Can you help after the festival run?
That's when a lot of the real work starts. Premieres, consumer release and streaming launches, I'm there for all of it.
Do you handle PR?
Yes, together with publicist Nicole Muj, so your film gets press coverage and not just social posts.
What does it cost?
Every film is different, so I build a plan around your stage, goals and budget. Book a call and I'll give you real numbers. [OPTIONAL: ADD STARTING PRICE]
