Hey everyone,
I haven't posted here for a while, but I have a question that I couldn't find answers to searching the web:
I just finished a 6 month project shooting a feature length comedy. We're nearly done editing the thing (we've got everything done but some looping for some scenes with inconsistent audio). Anyhow, I'm trying to find out how one goes about preparing the movie to be shown at festivals. I kind of want to have this figured out before I start submitting. Here is some information on the project:
-We shot the whole thing on my XL2, in 16:9, 24p, we edited it in FCP and will be burning DVDs for submitting.
-I plan on submitting to the following festivals: A bunch of local ones (near Tampa, FL.), Toronto, Austin, any other comedy accepting festivals that strike my fancy.
So my question basically is:
What formats do they screen festival movies on? Certainly they don't use DVDs do they? How does one go about getting their edited DV footage onto an accepted medium to be shown at a festival?
Thanks for your time!
Wil
