Film Festivals are tricky business. As an independent filmmaker with short films, there aren't that many more venues out there to get work seen. With that in mind, I sent my movie, "Second Parent" out to 6 major film festivals:
South by Southwest
Cleveland International
Atlanta International
The Florida Film Festival
Aspen Shorts Fest
and Nashville Film Festival
In addition, I also sent it out to two smaller fests: the Seattle True Independent Film Festival and Inside Out Toronto LGBT Film Festival. Most of the festivals I've had my shorts play at in the past have been smaller, niche festivals where my work stood a better chance of being accepted. So just getting in to one of these six major festivals is a huge honor!
So far I've been rejected from South by Southwest....but I made it into the Cleveland International Film Festival! http://www.clevelandfilm.org I'll let you know if my movie makes it into any others.
