UPCOMING
FILM & SCREENPLAY FESTIVALS, TELEVISION OPPORTUNITIES & GRANTS:
Festival Tips for student filmmakers: Short films (under 12minutes) have the best chance of getting into film festivals. Festival programmers want to show as many films as possible therefore they tend to avoid longer films. Look for film festivals with a student category -- it reduces the competition and gives you a better chance of being screened. To make applying to numerous film festivals easy, check out this website: Without a Box -- It's an oneline film festival submission service. Call
