I own a canon xl2 along with a tripod. I'm planning on making short films, as well as a 118 min film this summer. I am a newbie when it comes to film festivals. If I was planning on submitting a short to a film festival would it be accepted from a digital camera? I've heard that film festivals only accept film? Once again, I'm a newb when it comes to this. Is there anything I need to know before I start making films? Thank you.
