Film festival secrets : a handbook for independent filmmakers. Updated Second Edition

Many filmmakers struggle to find a place on the festival circuit because they don't have the right foundation for their submissions strategy. They think that all film festivals are basically the same. (Wrong.) They rush post-production to meet festival deadlines and consider test screenings to be optional. (Nope.) They think that sending out form emails to hundreds of festivals to ask for fee waivers is a clever way to save money on submissions fees (so very, very wrong).If you're stumped about where to start - if you're losing sleep over which festivals are right for you or (worse) blindly submitting to festivals with late deadlines about to pass - get your hands on this book today. You'll discover not only how festivals operate but also how veteran filmmakers craft a custom submissions strategy for each film they make . . . without wasting resources or damaging their reputations in the industry. "Knowing insider tips on when and how to submit to festivals, creating the correct materials, following best practices will help get your foot in the door. Following the advice in Chris' book on promotional materials, building your fan base, and attending festivals will help you stand out once you are at your festival premiere. " Jarod Neece, Senior FIlm Programmer, South by Southwest (SXSW) - from the foreword
