Learn the secrets of Sundance, Telluride, Slamdance and over 300 film festivals world-wide in this comprehensive and eye-opening guide. Packed with information, this book reveals how to get a film accepted and what to do after acceptance, from putting together a press kit to putting on a great party to actually closing a deal. It includes chapters on The Players (festival directors, agents, PR pros, acquisition experts and others), The Parties (the single most important event at a festival besides your own screening), and The Politics (networking, how a juror thinks, self-promotion). It also contains complete directory listings of hundreds of film festivals, cross-referenced indices, plus resource appendices for screening rooms, affordable video dub facilities, agents for independent film makers, attorney, public relations firms, and travel agents.
