Hey, filmmakers!

It's common knowledge that the success of an indie film can be heavily influenced by whether or not a film has a successful festival run.

If your film makes even the tiniest of splashes, it can lead to distribution, sales, financing, representation, connections, exposure/street cred, and future (paid!) gigs.

That's a pretty bad-ass list, right?!?

The problem is that so many filmmakers don't know what they don't know and they end up sabotaging their own film, killing its chances of making an impact on the circuit!

You may spend THOUSANDS of dollars on submissions, but because you're not "an insider," it seems like a huge waste - especially if you can't tell whether an actual programmer even watches your screener!

Plus, the events of the last two years have completely changed the film festival landscape.

Bottom line: everything you know about film festivals may need some updating...
