September 2012 – Present

The DC Independent Film festival is a five day long festival that brings together over 40 different films from all over the world. Both feature length films from Australia and Vietnam are presented next to shorts from America and Iceland. The festival celebrates unique and exciting filmmakers who truly stand out with their original works. Starting in 2012, I took over the social media aspect of the festival because I thought it was being under utilized. Some of the social media work I do includes:

●Manage festival’s existing social media outlets and added new ones like Pinterest, Tumbler, Instagram and Google+.

●Track social media performance of various outlets using analytics to come up with new online strategies.

●Create online content and organize blog posts to help spread awareness of the festival.

●Screening submitted films to see if they would fit into the festival.
