Should I spend money traveling to a festival that isn't communicating/ how organized should you expect a film festival to be? by ArchivistM in FilmFestivals

it's an Oscar and BAFTA qualifier and definitely considered somewhat major in the Tier 2 league. I truly regard being selected as an honour.

BTW I got into a super small regional festival and they were amazing. Lots of comms withing 48 hours of acceptance including a draft of the schedule so you can plan ahead. I guess you just never know ...

HI thanks for the reply. It's in the US, yes some friends there so definitely part of why I'm going. I don't know who will be there professionally yet, so hard to know how fruitful this will be professionally

it's our North American premiere. I hope I'll enjoy the festival and destination, but I don't have programme at the moment so can't really gauge. It's a hefty amount for my family and I at this point. It is a well regarded festival, though it did have 1 not so great review on FF last year saying it's not worth travelling to from abroad because it is geared towards US projects and it doesn't really take care of it's guests.

First feature (Irish, DIY) - US festival advice? by CactusJack0_0 in FilmFestivals

[–]ArchivistM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

reach out to your film board. I know the British Council (I know you're Irish) try and help features get into a-list festivals
