People can give you a list of the usual festivals - but you
already know them.
You can research festivals.
In order to get a usable answer you need to focus your
question - otherwise any answer is a stab in the dark. When
you ask "best for getting my film noticed." what do you
mean? You know about the top ten festivals that attract
distributors - do you mean festivals with the highest attendance?
Who do you want to notice the film? Are you asking only
for personal recommendations - festivals we entered and
got the film noticed?
It's an excellent trailer - did you actually get an MPAA rating?
In my opinion placing the MPAA rating on a trailer when you
have not gotten a rating make you look far from professional.
You are essentially lying to your audience.
No. Smaller festivals will not attract buyers. However, becoming
an "Official Selection" in several festivals and maybe picking up
an award or two can help when you pitch it to buyers.
