Basically, if you haven’t made a film and screened it somewhere (preferably a legit festival or curated screening), you’re going back to the story board.

Plugging your site is easy…It is a great read. I think that will be one of the next articles: Places to read about contemporary underground/experimental cinema both on-line and in print!

Good article.
Another tip is to contact the festival and ask if they accept online file transfers like sendit, filecentral, etc. for the previews instead of a DVD. I started doing that last year and very few said no. It’s an old habit to have preview DVDs and in most cases there are a couple of reviewers so digital file of your DVD will be made anyways.

You save money on the postage and we all save a small part of nature.
