Hey everyone,
We are just finishing off the final tweaks to our short at the moment. Im a bit torn about when would be the best time to start entering festivals. There are still some very good festivals coming up in June/Jul/Aug that are still accepting submissions. However, many have obviously finished accepting entries/passed this year already.
I know that each festival differs but I have seen on a few festivals (cannes etc) that the film needs to have been completed after January that year. Im guessing this means if we were screened at one festival this year it could put us out of contention for all next years festivals as it would be deemed to have been completed in 2010.
Does anyone have any experience with this or any advice.
Many thanks
J
