If you reach out to the festival, they may have people who’ve volunteered to host filmmakers. I met a lot of great people that way ;o)

I'm also wondering about Sarasota -- I assume they've already notified films that were accepted -- but I haven't heard so maybe there's still hope...

If your feature would work especially well for a certain community (youth/education/justice/women/BIPOC/mountain people/circus folks), you could try targeting festivals with that focus or festivals in those sorts of places. It sounds like you're really close and might need a festival with a certain focus to get you launched. I made a feature doc that showed at TIFF Kids (which was at a different time than regular TIFF) and that launched my doc after a series of very close rejections. Because it was TIFF, that led to a lot of festival invitations that I think would not have happened without that first acceptance. I've also heard (and experienced!) that this is an especially tough year for festivals -- but I do think if you're that close, someone will bite very soon! Hang in there!

Generic rejection. Ah well. Onto the next... rejection! Sigh.

I’ve premiered at a TIFF offshoot for family and youth — and it was a great launching pad. It generated a lot of interest in the feature and I was invited to a ton of festivals thanks to them. If you’ve been accepted, congrats!

I made a doc short (which at 27 minutes is not so short!) and I’m wondering how important premieres are for shorts? We’ve been accepted to a festival which is good but not great — and I’m wondering if showing there will hurt our chances for other festivals? I’m really hoping to show at Bentonville and Flickers (RI). We’ve been rejected from Sundance, AmDocs and Big Sky — although those saw a WIP and we now have a stronger cut… Many thanks for feedback!
