I'm a filmmaker from southern Ohio and I love movies. Feel free to reach out if you want to ask for advice, work together, or talk about movies.
Sorry to hear that! I know you decrease your chances of acceptance significantly by having a runtime over 20 min. Some festivals will actually give you notes on your film if you request them. Good way to identify what might not be working. I'd love to check out your film sometime!
Doesn't hurt! Especially for the bigger festivals. I actually didn't know any programmers or represented by an agency and was still able to get in some festivals. It's hard to know whether or not the bigger festivals actually watch all the submissions.
I must have missed that one but apparently there is something to the whole garage/studio thing!
I wish Stranger Things had way more of this.
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me.
