Film Festival Hacks: How to Submit to Festivals Like a Pro

Description

Before you read what I have to say, see what our other students are saying about our course:

As Festival Producer with the Edmonton International Film Festival (EIFF) in Canada for nearly 15 years, I have experienced a whole lotta misinformation about what film festivals DO and I completely support the sharing of ACCURATE information in a non-biased way. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical about this course, titled FILM FESTIVAL HACKS. From the first segment, I was hooked.

Chris and Alex have created a fascinating journey that is relevant to both filmMAKERS and festival organizers. Chris's experience behind-the-scenes at numerous festivals combined with Alex's experiences attending festivals makes for a well-rounded and completely candid course that is less 'instruction' and more In the Actor's Studio. A few chapters into it, I thought -- (insert gratuitous coarse language here) EVERYONE needs to certify themselves as FILM FESTIVAL HACKS!

And the course reminded me that we (at EIFF) aren't all alone on an island, hoping that what we do will resonate with filmMAKERS and that our annual event has VALUE for everyone -- audiences included!. - Kerrie Long

You will be taught from both sides of "the badge." Alex Ferrari is an award winning filmmaker with almost 600 international film festivals under his belt. He'll show you tricks and techniques on how he got his features and short films accepted with paying little or NO MONEY!

Here's what legendary film critic Roger Ebert (which he met at a film festival) had to say about Alex's short film:

"BROKEN is essentially a demonstration of the mastery of horror imagery and techniques...effective and professional." - Roger Ebert (Chicago SunTimes)

On the "other side of the badge" is Chris Holland, author of Film Festival Secrets: A Handbook for Independent Filmmakers and festival organizer who has been on staff at two Academy-Accredited (Oscar-qualifying) film festivals.

Chris has also worked closely with the staff of more than 200 festivals worldwide, including Sundance, Slamdance, AFI Fest, SXSW, and many more. Over the last decade he has consulted on festival strategy with hundreds of filmmakers just like you and helped them take control of their run on the festival circuit.
