Now that you’ve made your film you want it to be seen by as many people as possible.

Where can your film be screened?  Consider your local area and all possible places a film could be seen – in local cinemas, schools, local TV stations, on the Internet or cafés or shops with television screens.

 It is fun to arrange a premiere film screening – you can make posters and invitations to send to your friends, family and anyone who helped to make the film.

Top Tip: Now you will see how important it was to take photographs during filming. You can also take still images from your finished film to help promote your film through posters, flyers, websites and invitations.

Consider entering your film into festivals also. Download the list of all UK film festivals on the right hand side of this page for more information. Double check they have a children’s section to their programme and what the criteria is before you enter.

Top Tip: Why not try submitting your film to an online short film site, such as the BBC's new Film Network
