Make no mistake, entering film festivals should be part of the overall strategy for just about any independent filmmaker or producer. There is tremendous value in getting in the \u003cem\u003eright\u003c\/em\u003e film festival, perhaps more than ever before. So how do you not only identify the best festivals for your film, but assure you give yourself the best chance of being selected? Get the answers from a producer of over 35 independent films and a veteran of the festival circuit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWith so many film festivals popping up year over year and many of the major festivals turning to higher profile projects, navigating which festivals to spend your dollars on can be daunting.\u003c\/strong\u003e Unfortunately, many filmmakers and producers today are overspending on festival submissions (or entering as many as possible) so they can say they've made it into \u003cem\u003esomething\u003c\/em\u003e. This is an approach that can not only leave you light in the wallet, but can also put your film, the one you spent so much time and effort into, in a position to be branded incorrectly and actually hurting its chances of success.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003eAimee Schoof has produced over 35 films, many of which have played at some of the most prestigious film festivals in the world. But many others have played at festivals that may not have the marquee names, but proved correct for the content.

She will teach you everything you need to know about where to submit, but also approaches on how to give your film the best chance of standing out from the crowd. She will also demystify and destroy some of the \"false truths\" that have become part of submitting for festivals (YES, you can submit a rough cut!) She'll tackle how to get press, how to run your social media, how to get your team involved, and much more, all in the name of getting your film seen and, ultimately, the attention it deserves.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is a blueprint that will have you saving money, making it into more festivals, and smiling from ear to ear while walking the red carpet.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eLike what you heard from Aimee during this webinar? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eSend her your script and speak with her for an hour by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.stage32.com\/scriptservices\/coverage\/buy?id=29\u0026amp;genre=film\u0026amp;exec=1145\u0026amp;affid=mjm\"\u003eclicking here\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #42c2cb;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRAISE FOR AIMEE'S TEACHINGS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #42c2cb;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eI've taken many Stage 32 webinars and they've all been wonderful, but Aimee's had me ready to run through a wall!
