How To Create A Film Festival Strategy That Will Get Your Film Seen & Celebrated On The Circuit

4-Week Interactive Class - Limited Spots Available

Many filmmakers think that they will only be taken seriously if their film gets into a top tier festival and they tend to submit to only the top tier festivals with a low success rate. However that is not the case because there are many more festivals which are also of a higher caliber that will be a very good fit for your film. It is a careful process of learning how festivals work behind the scenes and where your film fits within the circuit. When it comes to researching which festivals are the right fit for your film and creating a streamlined and focused film festival strategy, this is a process which needs more detailed time and attention than you realize. 

Making the mistake of putting your film through the wrong film festival strategy can set you back years. It can bring you farther away from getting it seen by the masses and recouping your money for your investors. Don't submit blindly only to hope that the offers to screen at Sundance and TIFF are going to come rolling in.

Instead, set yourself up for the best chance at success and learn how festivals work and how to make them work for you.

Rebekah Louisa Smith (aka the Film Festival Doctor) brings her years of building successful film festival runs to you. She has helped hundreds of filmmakers get thousands of festival screenings, win festival awards and even get an Oscar nomination! Now, she's bringing her years of experience to our Stage 32 community. 

This isn't something that you can learn in an hour, so Rebekah has graciously offered to a 4-week interactive class and even included one-on-one support for you every week to help tailor your own strategy.
