Finding the Right Film Festivals

It seems like there are almost as many film festivals as there are filmmakers. As festival fees pile up, how can you be sure you’re submitting to the festivals that are right for you, and when you’re accepted, what do you do?

This free workshop explores how to find the film festivals that are right for your project and will also address how to leverage your film festival acceptances and screenings so you get the most out of your festival experience!

In this workshop you will learn:

  • How to identify the festivals that are the best fit for your film,
  • How to make your film stand out among other submissions,
  • How to leverage your participation to get the most out of your festival experience.

Cost: Free

Duration: 1 hour
