Sakae PR navigates the most competitive circuits in world cinema — from qualification to the shortlist and nomination.
From a quiet, intimate portrait to an Oscar nomination — The New York Times' Walk Run Cha-Cha's campaign is a case study in timing and strategy, combined with beautiful storytelling.
Discuss Your CampaignSakae PR (USA) and Sakae Cultural (Brazil) was founded by Juliana Sakae — a publicist-producer with a career built at the intersection of curatorial experience and strategy. Her expertise was forged managing the competition leading to the prestigious IDA Awards and creating the Bravo FYC within the Bravo Film Festival in Los Angeles.
We operate across the full spectrum of the cinema circuit: awards campaigning, international festival positioning, press strategy, and educational initiatives through masterclasses. Our approach is singular: we treat each film as a cultural object with a story to tell beyond the screen.
We work exclusively with projects we believe in.
