I love attending because you can meet some interesting people and watch some amazing films. <a href="http://www.theanchoragefilm.com/content.html" rel="nofollow"> http://www.theanchoragefilm.com/content.html</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747256604293357264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010326211719680633.post-42428028997960050692013-09-24T12:29:37.601-07:002013-09-24T12:29:37.601-07:003-8%?!

I still haven't seen the high production value indie online revolution people keep talking about (until we see independent features on youtube/vimeo with great viewing numbers I doubt it will happen), but hopefully local <a href="http://www.maverickboston.com/" rel="nofollow">video production (like in Boston)</a> and local festivals will help some independent films get awareness.

They are looking for the movies that will sell the most tix and that's a fact. It's a disgusting fact. If you want to get screened, don't waste your money submitting to these big festivals - wait for them to invite you. In the meantime, submit locally, or to a screening series (NYC has several).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010326211719680633.post-8251508372108350872012-03-21T21:36:26.987-07:002012-03-21T21:36:26.987-07:00Hi, I'm doing research on film festival econom...Hi, I'm doing research on film festival economics (with emphasis on short films), and if I may just add:<br /><br />Michelle, this event may focus on the independent side of the screen, but there's also a disproportionate amount of perceived favoritism towards filmmakers with ties to the Sundance festival. Look at the 2012 lineup (in particular: US narrative short films). As mentioned in the article, fewer than 2% of all submitted films get accepted, but a back-of-the-napkin calculation shows that if you have a personal/business relation to someone at Sundance (look at the filmmaker's imdb page or Sundance bio sheet, or do a quick google search), their film's chances of getting in is much higher, coming in at 31%. Keep in mind this is a conservative estimate. So with short film submission fees at $50 (regular deadline), I would have a hard time persuading any indie filmmaker that Sundance is worth their effort and money.Mike Chandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12252431610501712950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010326211719680633.post-46403460709303124222011-09-28T08:23:39.107-07:002011-09-28T08:23:39.107-07:00Directors from all around the world look forward t...Directors from all around the world look forward to this film festival. This is where small budget films, with low profile actors and actresses, are submitted. This event focuses on the independent side of the big screen and it's all about uniqueness and quality.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.veoh.com/how-to-watch-online-movies-for-free/" rel="nofollow">Michelle Pendlelton</a>Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15523403371863645449noreply@blogger.com
