How to Move On From Film Festival
Rejection
+
“I didn’t get in”
We know that it might seem like
the end of the world to not
make it into your dream film
fest. But the truth is, there’s
still hope for your film yet!
+
You’re not alone!
Did you know that the Sundance film
festival alone receives over 12,000
submissions for 200 slots?* That’s a
whole lot of rejection!
*http://filmmakerslife.blogspot.com/2009/12/i-just-got-rejected-from-sundance.html
Includes features and short.
+
Don’t despair
Don’t think of that “dream” festival as
the be all and end all for your film. Of
the thousands of films that get
rejected form major festivals each
year, many still go on to have great
success.
+
Take some advice from the experts
Join us for a discussion with experts in the field who will fill you in on
what you need to know to move on from festival rejection and create a
successful distribution strategy for your film.
