IFP MN launches a quarterly series of workshops on important topics for professional filmmakers. The first topic: Phantastic Promotion for Philm with Matt Osterman. Osterman, writer and director of the feature length supernatural film Phasma Ex Machina, has done a bang-up job of promoting his film from its inception. Using social networks, YouTube, and other vehicles, Matt has had his film’s trailer go viral in a matter of hours. Phasma Ex Machina was invited to IFP NY’s Rough Cuts Lab in June and will return to New York in September for the Film Forum at Independent Film Week. Matt will discuss the many tactics and tools he implemented to call wide attention/attract funding to his movie.

Matt has written and directed numerous short films, produced a documentary executive produced by Jon Stewart, written a handful of feature scripts, and worked on countless independent films. His movies have played at festivals all over the country, and he has had projects broadcast on SpikeTV and featured in National Geographic Magazine. Phasma Ex Machina is his feature film directorial debut.
