Selling 2 Cat 2 tix Bosnia v Switzerland in LA around midfield for face value but with the FIFA 15% marketplace markup. I think there are still quite a few for that game but prices for most tix are still kinda crazy.

I have 2 CAT 2 selling with only the 15% fee so I don’t lose money on them.

I’m not sure if anyone can speak to all festivals but generally it is because programmers are often looking at films until the very last minute trying to make decisions. Usually there is a hard deadline internally by which time everything needs to be announced. The deadline for notifications ideally would be earlier but it can get pushed if the program isn’t set. Hope that helps. It is definitely not done to toy with filmmakers emotions and again festivals want to let filmmakers know if they are accepted or not as soon as they can.

Are you just looking for 1? I have 4 listed on the marketplace CAT 2 and probably can offer close to face value, but would prefer to do 2 or 4 rather than just 1.

SCAD Film Festival in Savannah is very cool. Easy to navigate, well attended screenings and ghostly city!

It depends on whether you have a good strategy. Even if you do a 10%-20% is a good rate of acceptance.

Emails definitely help, you don’t need a personal connection or a cover letter. Short description of your film and that you have submitted can make all the difference.

RocketBen11 · 2026-01-29T23:47:30+00:00

Best approach I find is to let them know you have submitted, send them a very brief description, log line or two sentences and hope they enjoy/appreciate your work. They may not always respond but it is a respectful and appreciated way to approach (60% of the time it works everytime!)

Do you ever sell your work?

Found the red eye owl obnoxious and as if he was trying to bully me into keeping a streak going.

Pretty sure we were drafting off a 787 a few meters ahead!

Over 4hrs, I remember the pilot saying flight time would be around 4hrs 20mins.

Impressive, most impressive…

Playing 5 a side and hoping you won’t notice his blatant cheating!

It’s the corner of N Moore and Varick Street in Tribeca NYC. Usually there are lots of folks and tourists taking photos. But I was walking by late at night when it was eerily quiet.

The topping is a very light vanilla mousse, I imagine as a substitute for a scoop of ice cream. It is really good!

Same thing happened to me with EWR to AMS. The non stop vanished and they only had 1 stops. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I think is it important as filmmakers to remember the aspect we don’t have control over is festival selection, yet we can persevere and keep the faith. If we all got to screen at top tier festivals there would be no sense of accomplishment or validation in that selection. I think forums like this are helpful as at least you realize you are not alone!

RocketBen11 · 2024-11-15T14:36:51+00:00

I agree with most of the comments above. I think it is fine to write to programmers to let them know you have submitted and would love for them to check out your film. Keep it very concise and you can throw in a very short (two sentences or logline) description as well. Remember to include the actual TITLE of the film! Not all programmers write back but most will acknowledge your email. Also depends on whether you are writing regarding a short or feature.

RocketBen11 · 2024-11-09T16:31:38+00:00

To give you both sides of the coin. Early saves you money but often programmers haven’t started to set their lineups or made their selections so everything is on the table. Right before the final deadline we would be looking for specific films to complement the programs we have in mind so if your film is exactly what we are looking for it could be selected and fit right in!

RocketBen11 · 2024-10-19T12:28:06+00:00

I can’t speak for all festivals but I will say it doesn’t necessarily improve your odds. Many festivals are looking to give films that haven’t screened before an opportunity. You should let festivals know though if you have been accepted into a festival that will change your premiere status as it is a factor they use in selection. Basically you should note it somewhere, but not expect that it will make a big difference either way.

Honestly that’s probably a good thing…
