What are your thoughts on film festivals. Do you think they are worth submitting to ?
Yes. Just make sure it is not some hole in the wall out of someones basement festival. Granted you may not get the big ones you want, and it will cost a bit but it can help further things along. Soft of a marking in a way. Gets you name and material out there, and a lot of people would rather contribute to projects that have festival awards behind them than not.
I'm new to film but they seem like they're becoming a hustle. The great thing about film is there's no festival with a bunch of bad films.
If your film is good it can do very well on the festival circuit.
If your film is not good, it could flop on the circuit, in which case you may slam the whole circuit and call all festivals money grabbers.
It is what is is. Make a good product FIRST.
Yes money is involved (it's called business). But also, the good films prevail and I am confident in that.

Internationally recognized and 1st annual is indeed a red flag unless the organization was previously recognized and the festival is a new endeavor.
