FILM festival submission strategy
We believe in a festival strategy from a talent development perspective that focuses on getting shorts to an audience, to film professionals and to fellow filmmakers, so the strategy works for the development, the inspiration and long term goals of the film maker or producer.
Do you want to know if your film has what it takes to premiere in Sundance, Cannes or Berlinale? Are you unable to navigate the thousands of festivals listed on the Filmfreeway? With our two mentorship programs we can help you develop a personal film festival submission strategy based on the strengths of your film and help you throughout the process.
Let us help you succeed
