6 Do's and Don'ts for Submitting to Film Festivals, According to Programmers
7 years ago
My biggest take from submitting my documentary film to festivals. Only submit to the large film festivals. There are the only ones that will allow you to make a deal and reach an audience. All the other film festival are just making money out of your film... Which is money you could be making for yourself. For example I had been accepted to the SF Docfest in San Francisco. They filled the room three times with my film. It was the most seen film at the festival. That's 750 tickets sold. About $12 each. You do the math... I showed my film on my own after that, abs managed 135 screenings, all sold out. It was a blast... No rewards from unknown full festivals... But it covered my cost for the film and a lot more.
