Hello, not necessary, unless the festival specifies that nominees must attend, i didn't attend any of the festivals i won for The Red Dress because of travel expenses but i got some footage from the organizers when my film played in the theaters. Attending is more for you to network, meet new filmmakers friends and get inspired, for bigger festivals, you'd attend to network and sell you film. All the best!
I still receive a lot of invites yes, that's why I think having a dedicated email for your film is important so it doesn't get overwhelming when the festival cycle end.
Do the festivals download your films? I mean currently Vimeo has to be paid for someone to download your film through link. So is it fine to just have the link and password ?
As far as I know on FilmFreeway, if a festival would like to download you project, they'll usually send you a notification. For submission, you only need to upload the film to their platform, or provide the link with password. I hope that helps!
Can you please PLEASE never stop uploading? Also miss the piano tutorials:(
I appreciate your comment, thank you!
Bravo! I did something similar.
Congratulations. This is incredible! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this great video! Very helpful tutorial when organizing my 2024 Festival Strategy!
All The best!!
Really valuable info! Thank you
Nice video. I used those marketing services - RIP to my email cause most of them festivals are scams.
I hear you! U really gotta filter through them and check the festival's credentials. Good luck!
If I am nominated, and I live in a different country, do I have to go to the country of the film festival?

Do you still receive spam festivals? I heard that they keep coming

Awsome, i'm doing the same thing. Trying to navigate through the real & the scam festivals. Not easy.
All the bestt!! Thanks for watching!
Did you submit a trailer or the actual short film when you purchased the "Featured Project" marketing service?
I submitted the actual film :)
I can tell you that the numbers drop
Off after the first day of marketing. I will make a video about it.
I'd love to know more!
