Interesting. Have you used this strategy before?

I don't mean to discourage anyone from applying to festivals. I definitely think you should. Especially to your local festival. The relationships I've made there have been invaluable to my amateur film career. But I've learned to be more strategic in applying. Best of luck!

Yes and no. I don’t mind supporting festivals with application fees, but after the tenth or so rejection it’s frustrating when you realize how much money you gave with nothing to show. The festivals I went to were awesome. Free food and drinks and movies are always worth it. Networking is just...

It was unlisted for over a year while it went through festivals. I made it public last night. I guess that's how youtube works? I dunno lol Thanks for watching!

Hi filmmakers, I recently shot some footage for my short film that I'm currently editing. It's pretty important to the story, so I'd like to salvage as much as possible. I shot it on a Canon C100 Mark II. Its owner was unavailable, so I was the one behind the camera for the day. I can't recall...

Hi guys and gals, I just finished shooting my first short film and am about to begin the editing process. I'm looking for any tips, advice, links, resources that some of you may have. It's a narrative short, and I estimate the finished film will be around 4-5 minutes. I'm cutting it on final...

Just to quadruple check ---- I can use NOTLD footage on a TV screen for my character to watch?

This thread reminds me of a specific high school scenario: Popular guy gives a cute girl his number. Her ugly best friend freaks the eff out.
