LOS ANGELES—Awards season is in full swing this month with the Golden Globes kicking off on January 5. Over the next month, there will be countless red carpets leading up to the actual awards show and hundreds will walk those carpets. Most nominees have experienced walking a carpet but do not have the experience or knowledge to make the most out of it. "Mastering Your Red Carpet Moment" is an online masterclass designed to help nominees and talent make the most of their red carpet time.
Taught by entertainment industry veteran, Sue Procko, the online class will teach essential carpet terminology, how to pose, where to focus your energy, and what to wear (and avoid). Attendees will gain insider tips on working with media outlets, maximizing your coverage, and nailing interviews. Plus, the will discover how to leverage their photos and press coverage after the event for lasting impact. The first two classes will be focused on working with adult talent.
"I’ve overseen countless red carpets, and regardless of whether it’s the Emmys or an indie film premiere, it’s often assumed that talent knows how to navigate them," said Procko. "I felt it was important to share the fundamentals of red carpet etiquette to empower talent to maximize their big moments."
The events will be hosted online and sign-up is limited. Enrollment can be found at "Mastering Your Red Carpet Moment." Currently, two classes are being offered—January 7 at 6 p.m. PT and January 10 at 5 p.m. PT. Sign-up is limited and the cost is $50.
With over 30 years of experience in public relations, Procko is a red carpet veteran who has produced hundreds of high-profile events. She pioneered the red carpet for the AVN Awards over two decades ago and has worked on some of the industry's most prestigious events, including the Emmys, Saturn Awards, Roseanne TV reunion, and numerous film festivals and independent film premieres. Sue has collaborated with leading news outlets, wire services like Getty, Shutterstock, WireImage, and AP, as well as entertainment powerhouses such as Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, and E!.
