Film information
What Is a Film Press Kit?
A film press kit is a collection of publicity materials that gives journalists, festival programmers, distributors, venues, and other industry contacts the core information and media assets needed to understand and cover a film.
What Is an EPK?
EPK stands for Electronic Press Kit. It is essentially the digital version of a traditional press kit, combining structured film information, publicity copy, images, links, and contact details in one reusable document.
What Should Be Included in a Film Press Kit?
Common elements include a film title, poster, logline, synopsis, filmmaker biographies, director statement, key cast and crew, technical specifications, production notes, stills, festival selections, awards, trailer, and press contact. Not every film needs every section.
Film Press Kit Template
This generator structures the information into a reusable film press kit template. You can hide sections, reorder them, switch presentation styles, and export only the version you need.
Short Film Press Kit
A short-film press kit may be more concise than a feature or documentary kit while still including the logline, synopsis, director bio, statement, key cast and crew, stills, technical details, festival information, and contact details.
How Long Should a Film Press Kit Be?
There is no rigid page count. Clarity and usefulness matter more than length. A concise short-film kit may be several pages, while a feature or documentary may need more detail.
Director Bio vs Director Statement
A biography explains who the filmmaker is: their background, experience, and selected work. A director statement explains why and how they made this particular film, including the project's themes, motivation, or creative approach.
What Film Stills Should You Include?
Choose strong representative frames with different compositions and minimal spoilers. High-resolution images with useful captions and credits are generally more helpful than dozens of similar frames. Three to ten strong images is a practical starting point, not a formal requirement.
What Is a Press Contact?
A press contact is the person and contact route that journalists, programmers, and other recipients can use when they need more information, interview arrangements, screening access, or approved publicity material.

Film EPK generator FAQ
What is an EPK for a film?
EPK means Electronic Press Kit. It is a digital collection of film information, publicity copy, images, links, and contact details that journalists, festivals, programmers, venues, and distributors can use.
What should a film press kit include?
A useful kit may include the film title, poster, logline, synopsis, filmmaker biographies, director statement, key cast and crew, technical specifications, production notes, stills, festival information, trailer, and press contact. Not every film needs every section.
Do short films need press kits?
A short-film press kit can be useful for festival submissions, screenings, media coverage, distribution, and promotion. The required materials vary by recipient, so keep the kit clear and adaptable.
What is the difference between a press kit and an EPK?
An EPK is the electronic or digital form of a press kit. The terms are often used interchangeably when discussing film publicity materials.
How do I write a director biography?
Describe the filmmaker's professional background, relevant training, selected work, and meaningful achievements in a concise way. Use factual information supplied by the filmmaker rather than invented copy.
What is a director statement?
A director statement explains why and how the filmmaker made this particular project, including its creative motivation, themes, visual approach, or relationship to the subject.
How long should a film synopsis be?
Different uses need different lengths. A short synopsis can work for listings and programmes, while a fuller synopsis can help programmers and press understand more context. This tool keeps both versions separate.
Should an EPK include a trailer?
A trailer can be useful when a public link is available, but it is not mandatory for every film or recipient. The generator adds a safe watch link and never downloads or proxies the video.
Should I include festival laurels in a press kit?
Relevant laurels and accurate festival selections can be included when you have permission to use the artwork and the claims are correct. The generator does not verify festival claims.
Can I download the press kit as a PDF?
Yes. Use Print / Save as PDF in the generator. The print layout removes editor controls and keeps the selected sections, images, links, and contact settings.
Is my EPK information uploaded to Indie Shorts Mag?
No. The generator processes your project information and uploaded media locally in your browser. It does not upload your EPK content to Indie Shorts Mag.
