When I set out to create a marketing plan for The Extraordinary World of Cecily Blinkstop, I quickly discovered that there are not a lot of online materials related to creating a marketing plan for an indie film. People are understandably protective of their intellectual property, making it difficult to find good examples to refer to when creating this plan. While I already had experience marking one indie film, we made most decisions for that project on the fly. With The Ext

I wrote The Extraordinary World of Cecily Blinkstop during my first semester at graduate school and, from the moment I completed the first draft, I knew that this would be the first feature film I would tackle as a director. While creating Cecily's world, I pulled from my own life experiences to develop the characters and basic plot, but then something truly magical happened: my characters came to life. They took over and told the story for me. The Extraordinary World of Ceci

I am Spencer Cohen and I am the Producer of Marketing & Distribution. While I never had an imaginary friend, in college I did play an imaginary sport! I always thought I would play baseball in college and even get into the MLB. I had some lofty dreams! Every day I was outside throwing the ball through a small target in backyard.

I am Luisa Piña and I am part of the Marketing Team, the Editor, and Assistant Director. I never had an imaginary friend. With 3 siblings I never needed more distractions.

I grew up in Michigan playing cops and robbers and football with the neighbor hood kids. I was surrounded by creativity. One time we attached remote control cars to a blow up chair and paraded each other around…until we reached the stairs. I didn’t say we had the best ideas, but we had fun! I wish we had had a camera back then. When I moved to Ne

I'm the Visual Artist for the film creating the poster and doing visual work in in post-production. I've been working with Jen for 9 years and I'm so excited to be working on her newest production! One of my hobbies in my spare time is jumping out of perfectly good airplanes. You haven't seen the world unless you've seen free falling two miles above the Earth. And hey look at it this way - it's lethal one you're above 100 feet so why not got to 13,000? #mikedelgiudice #artist

Hello! I am Jen Potts, writer and director of The Extraordinary World of Cecily Blinkstop. I was born in 1970 in a little town in Western Maryland called Hagerstown.
