ITVS gives three lists of various promotional strategies for the documentary-oriented filmmaker. Most of it’s pretty obvious, which is great because it’s usually the obvious I tend to forget.

One of the more interesting suggestions:

• 5. Consider allowing Internet users to remix or “mash up” parts of your film, or create their own trailers for it. This adds their perspective to the work and, ideally, helps it reach a broader audience.[1. ITVS: http://www.itvs.org/producers/digitalinitiative/fieldreport/topfive.html]

The post also has quite a few case studies with successful filmmakers and their projects, the most compelling of which I found to the discussion of What We Got with Brad Lichtenstein mainly becuase it deals with the former point in a compelling manner.

Toward the end of every year, I like to read the list this site puts out. While I try to remain fairly well-informed, I am always amazed by what I did not know.
