Today, more than ever, it's essential to know who your target audience is for your film, as soon as your concept takes shape. Understanding how your specific audience discovers and consumes their movies is essential to your process. Engaging those audiences as early as possible allows you to have a dedicated following throughout production and when you come to release in your home territory. Understanding your audience also helps when you are searching for a sales agent who is the best fit for your movie.
