You've got a film, or you're about to. And somewhere in the middle of actually making it, there's this other job nobody warned you about: telling people about it, consistently, in a way that doesn't feel like a chore or an afterthought.
Most social media advice for filmmakers either assumes you've got a marketing budget, or it skips the part where you actually need something to post. A plan is great, but a plan with no templates is just another thing on your to do list.
Short Film Social Media Campaign Templates is a set of ready to edit Canva templates built specifically for marketing a short film, from the moment you announce it to the moment it's out in the world. Every template is designed to be adapted to your project's branding, your colours, your fonts, your overall vibe, so it never looks like a generic template stretched over your story.
Inside, you'll find everything you need to:
Build a consistent visual identity across your campaign
Announce your project and introduce your cast and crew
Share behind the scenes moments that bring people into the process
Mark key milestones, from wrap to release, to festival announcements
There's also a simple posting guide mapped to each stage of production, and a caption formula so you're never starting from a blank page.
Everything in here is designed to be customised, not copied. No design experience required.
A foreword and posting guide to get you oriented at every stage of production
A project announcement template to make your first public post
Cast and crew introduction templates
Behind the scenes and process templates
Milestone and release templates
A caption formula page so you can write your own when the examples don't fit
You're making or about to make a short film and have no idea what to actually post about it. You want your social media to look intentional without spending hours designing from scratch every week.
If you've sat in front of a blank caption box wondering what on earth to say about your film today, then this is for you!
You're looking for a full brand identity system or a big budget campaign toolkit.
This one was built for indie first-timers, one post at a time.
