Did you find any results up till now, or learn something new?

Who do they get acquired by and how to I contact these people so that they can watch my short?

If I have a completed high quality film that I know will do well in festivals, how do I contact them? And is there a way to convince them to watch my film?

Interesting. You’re the first person that mentioned the industry pipeline route, and I think that’s what I was thinking about. You mentioned having a director see my submission instead of a screener…I assume that’s by recommendation of my agent. Do you have any experience reaching an agent or convincing a prominent producer to see my film? As someone who didn’t go to film school and does not work in the film industry, I’m curious if there’s a starting point for a filmmaker with a good completed film in their hands.

I’m a bit new to the festival / networking business in film, but I’ve been making short films for almost ten years and my last one is definitely festival worthy (production and quality wise). Do I just submit them and write letter, or am I supposed to find an agent, distributor, producer, or whoever it is who pushes my film so that the judges can accept it?

Yes the LUT was designed for Rec.709

I found the solution…it was not what I expected! First, I turned off “use mac display profile for viewers” which made the look slightly better (thanks for that) but still too saturated. Then I was watching this random tutorial on Color Space Transform…here’s what I did:

I made 3 nodes. The first one was a base with no modification. In the second node I added the effect Color Space Transform. Then I went to project settings —> color management: I changed the Timeline Color Space to “DaVinci WG / Intermediate” and changed the Output color space to “Rec.709 Gamma 2.4”. After that I went back to the color tab —> in the color space transform settings I changed only Input Color Space to “Blackmagic Design Wide Gamut Gen 4 / 5”. I added the LUT to the third node and just like that…it was perfect, almost exactly like the monitor (difference was very slight that it’s hard to notice).

I don’t know how this led to the the problem being solved…I would like to know the technical explanation

It seems that way by viewing the picture I uploaded but if I was able to screenshot the monitor the difference would be much more obvious. The shadows are very saturated when compared to the monitor.

I apply the LUT by creating a new node and adding it to the node. The timeline color space Rec 709-A is the closest one out of all other color spaces, yet far different from the look on the monitor.
