Your CampaignFrom Upload to Premiere
Follow a feature film campaign from its very first upload through casting, production, and all the way to premiere night. At every stage, learn how to get the most out of Fanallyo and watch your fan community grow.
This is where it all begins. Upload your film project with a compelling poster, logline, and genre tags. Think of this as planting your flag — the earlier you start, the more momentum you build before cameras even roll.

Tips for This Stage
Upload a high-quality poster or concept art — first impressions matter. This is what fans will share across social media.
Write a logline that hooks in one sentence. Avoid jargon. Think: 'What would make someone stop scrolling?'
Add genre tags strategically — fans discover campaigns through tags, so choose ones that match your audience.
Set up your campaign page before you announce anything publicly. Have it ready so your first share drives traffic to a polished page.
Use the scheduling feature to prepare your first few posts in advance, so your campaign launches with momentum.

Tips for This Stage
Post casting news one actor at a time over several days — each announcement is a fresh engagement spike.
Tag the actors' social handles in your posts. Their fans become your fans when they share or respond.
Use different content for each platform: a polished headshot for Instagram, a casual video for TikTok, a text announcement for X.
Schedule posts for peak engagement times — typically 12pm and 7pm in your target audience's timezone.
Ask fans to guess who's next in the comments. Speculation drives shares and keeps your campaign in people's feeds.

Tips for This Stage
Share location photos as 'exclusive first looks' — fans love feeling like insiders. Frame it as behind-the-scenes access.
Upload images and short video clips using the media upload feature. Visual content gets 3x more engagement than text-only posts.
Create a sense of mystery: 'Can you guess where we're filming?' posts drive comments and speculation.
Use the geo-map on your dashboard to see where your fans are. If you're scouting near a fan cluster, mention it — local fans go wild.
Post consistently during the scouting phase. Even a quick phone snap from a location visit keeps your campaign active in feeds.

The table read is a milestone that fans genuinely care about. It signals that your film is real, the cast is committed, and production is imminent. A single photo from the read-through can generate more engagement than weeks of text updates.

Engagement Spike
Tips for This Stage
Post a group photo of the cast around the table — this is the image fans will share most. It makes the project feel tangible.
Share a short quote from the read: 'The chemistry is electric' or 'We laughed, we cried, we can't wait to shoot.' Keep it authentic.
If your cast is comfortable, share a 15-second video clip of a non-spoiler moment. Video content dramatically outperforms photos.
Use this milestone to thank your early fans: 'To the 456 fans who've been with us since day one — this one's for you.'
Schedule a follow-up post for the next day with a behind-the-scenes detail fans wouldn't expect, like the snack table or script covers.

Post the classic clapperboard shot at the exact moment you call 'Action' for the first time. This is iconic content that fans love to share.
Create a hashtag for your production (e.g., #Day1 or #YourFilmName) and include it in every post. Fans will use it to find and share content.

Tips for This Stage
Aim for 2-3 posts per week during production. Use the scheduling feature to batch-create posts on quieter days.
Vary your content: set photos one day, a crew spotlight the next, a funny blooper the day after. Variety keeps fans coming back.
Share content tailored to each platform: Instagram Reels for polished BTS, TikTok for raw/funny moments, X for quick text updates.
Feature your crew — fans love meeting the people behind the camera. A 'Meet the DP' or 'Our Sound Designer' post humanises your project.
Check your leaderboard regularly. Your top fans are your marketing team. Consider giving them exclusive content to share.

Post-production is where many campaigns go quiet — and that's a mistake. The gap between wrap and release is when you risk losing fan attention. Use teasers, before/after grading comparisons, and sound design previews to keep the excitement alive.

Share before/after colour grading comparisons. These are visually striking and fans love seeing the transformation.
Post a 'sound design sneak peek' — even a 10-second audio clip of a key scene builds anticipation without spoiling anything.
Create a countdown: 'X days until our first screening.' Countdowns create urgency and give fans something to share.
This is a great time to run a fan competition: 'Design our premiere poster' or 'Suggest the tagline.' User-generated content drives massive engagement.
Don't go more than 5 days without posting. Even a simple 'Edit room update: Scene 47 is looking incredible' keeps your campaign alive.
