Most people go to film school with big dreams to work and maybe even make a name for themselves. They have visions of interviews with Red Carpet Academy Awards acceptance speech and stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. After graduating from film school most people should join a company that is considered one of the hardest to find a job unless you have links course the world. Unfortunately for them, the Hollywood film industry is driven by a tight knit community that practices nepotism and opens the door to newcomers rarely.
If you place in the top three of every category you enter, you will usually be asked to send a copy of the film from its film festival film so that you can be screened at a public attending these events.
Public film festival is a combination of film critics, media journalists, representatives of film distribution, film lovers, celebrities and locals. When a buzz is created around a film in a film festival that usually begins in the theater halls and then works its way out of the media, where it can take a life. If this happens to a film is to succeed, and the person who made the trampolines films in a career in the film industry. Just ask Robert Rodriguez or Quentin Tarantino on the value of film festivals and they will tell you.
Earn a higher price than any film festival is a good thing for any independent filmmaker. With a price is advertising, and advertising is the life blood for filmmakers and their careers.
Film distribution companies send people to film parts in the purchase of products and they always follow the advertising to find your products. Most of the purchases they make are small films made by people with very small budgets. It is very important that you choose the right film festivals to get your independent film if you want to increase your chances of winning. Of course, it would be good to win a grand prize in an event like the Cannes Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival film and the Sundance Film Festival. But we must be realistic and set their sites in a contest that is friendly to small independent filmmakers and independent films. Worldfest Houston International Film Festival and the Austin Film Festival are two examples of the type of competition that are friendly to independent filmmakers who work with small budgets. The Cannes Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival and the Sundance Film Film Festival is the largest and most widely distributed film festivals in the world. Unfortunately, they are also the most difficult for small films to be accepted because of the high standards and policies they employ.
Most films that win awards and get selected in three major competitions are made by independent film divisions of Big Six movie studios like Warner Bros and Disney production. The three major film festivals have been invaded by the six major film production studios with big budget films disguised as independent films. This makes it very difficult for a film that was shot with a digital camera with a tight budget to participate in Cannes, Toronto and Sundance. These types of films have a better chance of winning a prize in a contest like Worldfest Houston or Austin Film Festival because they are more interested in showing the film talent to participate in the film industry of Hollywood. Choose your film festivals wisely and you will increase your chances of winning and ensure a distribution agreement.
