26 | A Note About This Resource | FilmFreeway | ||||||||
27 | November 12, 2019 | Reel Plan | ||||||||
28 | Seed&Spark | |||||||||
29 | Almost every beginning or developing filmmaker, myself included, has at some point relied upon these | |||||||||
30 | types of curated festival lists during their submission process. While I'm not endorsing any specific lists, | |||||||||
31 | I thought since so many people reference them, it would be useful to have all the info in one place. On the | Contributors | ||||||||
32 | Master List tab, you can sort by festival name, specific list, part of the world, or number of overall entries | Michael Forstein | ||||||||
33 | (just right click on a column header and sort A-Z). My goal here isn't to solve the problem of festival curation | Paul Fischer | ||||||||
34 | or strategy - it's just to save time on one aspect of festival research (the part that involves blindly googling | Nick Baldwin | ||||||||
35 | "what are the best film festivals?" and "what festivals should I submit to?"). | Corey Lawson | ||||||||
36 | ||||||||||
37 | If you know of other curated festival lists from reputable sources that you think would be helpful to filmmakers, | |||||||||
38 | please send them to me at info@filmfestivaldatabase.com and I can add them to this sheet! I'll also add new | |||||||||
39 | lists as they come out - MovieMaker Magazine and otherwise. | |||||||||
40 | ||||||||||
41 | One final note, in case it's not apparent: there are tons of great festivals not represented here. It's very | |||||||||
42 | possible that the majority of the festivals that are right for your film won't be listed here at all. There's no | |||||||||
43 | shortcut for thoughtful research and a sober, strategic approach to festival submissions. | |||||||||
44 | ||||||||||
45 | As always, I'm open to ideas for how to make this a more useful resource. Send any thoughts or questions | |||||||||
46 | to info@filmfestivaldatabase.com. Thanks, and best of luck on your festival journeys! | |||||||||
