Film Festivals
The key to film festivals is getting ready early. In the old days a film makers would be tasked with preparing everything and boxing it up also sending it all out to various festivals around the city, state and country. Now days we have Withoutabox.com. If you are a filmmaker and you don't know about this then shame on you and you should be taking some notes. IMDB.com has put together a website that helps the filmmaker. You as a filmmaker can submit your film to numerous amounts of festivals around the nation and even the world. No more back yard stuff. With your finished product you can bring notice to your film, crew, and actors/actresses. Everything is explained and submits ion details are given to you before time so you know that your film is properly submitted.
Attention FilmMakers
Proper Planning Prevent Bad Performance
One thing that we as filmmakers do tend to forget is the business aspect to filmmaking. It is a business and you as the creator need to develop a plan from the start to the finish. Everything must be mapped out this will prevent loss. If you’re like me then you don't have the millions of dollars to dump into a project every cent is accounted for and it should be. It is a business after all and how do you expect to make it to the big leagues if you can manage is that not what filmmaking is also about? Managing as well as creating, if you have done films in the past then you know this is true. Last thing don't overdo it complete your project before going on to another of your own. Helping other people with their stuff is fine but if you have a deadline for your film then make sure that you can meet your deadline it is not there responsibility to remind you to finish your own film.
