PUBLICITY LEAD MENFOLK
Menfolk is a queer psychological thriller set on the Northern Irish coast, currently in post-production following its August 2026 shoot.

A gravely injured young man washes up on a desolate stretch of the Northern Irish coast, with no memory of how he got there. Taken in by a guarded young clergyman three weeks away from his own ordination, an intense and dangerous closeness develops between them until the mystery of the stranger's origins threatens to consume them both.
We are looking for a Publicity Lead to take ownership of the film's public-facing presence as we move towards its release, festival submissions and premiere events.

THE ROLE
Working closely with the producers and wider creative team, you will help develop and execute the publicity strategy for Menfolk. This is an ideal role for someone interested in film publicity, marketing, social media, graphic design, events or film festival promotion, and offers the opportunity to have genuine creative input into how an independent short film is presented to audiences.

• Brainstorming creative campaigns and new ways to get Menfolk in front of audiences
• Working closely with the producers, director and other members of the team to ensure all publicity accurately represents the film

WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO IS:

• Creative and proactive, with lots of ideas for how to promote a film
• Comfortable using Canva or similar design software
• Organised and able to manage multiple deadlines
• Interested in film publicity, PR, marketing and/or events
• A strong communicator, both independently and as part of a team
• Previous experience in publicity, social media, graphic design, PR or event management is welcome but not essential enthusiasm and creativity are more important
