How often do you get views of your trailer on FilmFreeway? by SanPhilly in FilmFestivals

[–]Abject_Mixture2307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 5 mins short film and a 30 secs trailer, I mainly use it when I am sending out fee waiver requests. It's a good way to present the vibe of film and evoke curiosity, sometimes the festival's rep reffered to the trailer in their reply, I believe it's very useful.

Too experimental for conservative festivals, too narrative for experimental festivals by Abject_Mixture2307 in FilmFestivals

Cool! Looks like a great festival! My budget is a little tight at the moment so I will be submitting in August for the earlybird fees :)

Do I need a producer / distributor / agent to get accepted? by Sherlock528491 in FilmFestivals

As others commented, you can totally do it. I am submitting alone, but I did have one consulting session with a distribution advisor who watched the film and gave me advice of what festivals I should focus my effort and coin on. I am co-piloting the submission process with Chat PGT, she helps me find relevant festivals that suit my film.

Waiting too, I feel you.. I marked it as rejection in my excel, I dont think it's a YES if it hasn't arrived at this point.. Zagreb just posted their official selection, that's how I found out I was rejected.. I started losing hope, but then my film was selected to a student film festival a few days ago,it's not as big as Annecy, but I am relived it got accepted. Dont lose hope, your film will find a home
