After you've completed making your movie, you're probably going to be a pretty happy camper knowing that you got it done. However, what happens if you want to go further with your project? Let's say you want to enter your video into a festival so a bigger amount of people can watch it. How do you necessarily go about entering your movie into any various festival? Step one is to look into festivals around the area you live. If you find a festival close, there's a better chance that the festival will allow you to enter your project, being a local. Go online, find and fill out the necessary submission for the specific festival you wish to enter. You then send that submission, along with your film to that festival. Usually, there is a due date, so you want to fill out these submissions right away.
Your next step, once you found your festival, is to look at that specific festival's requirements for entry, for some requirements are rather precise, that one needs to follow to a t. Your next step is to pay the required amount; festivals always have some form of required payment in order to submit your film. Some festivals cost anywhere from 25-50 dollars to submit your film. This cost is smart to add into your film budget, because 99 percent of the time, festivals will cost you money. Usually, there are parties you can attend as a filmmaker, meet other filmmakers, and promote your film. These parties are a great idea, and are completely free-which is the best and easiest way to promote. Finally, you may to edit down some material, as most festivals have a length requirement on videos. If your film doesn't get awarded first time around, don't get discouraged. Keep submitting to festivals and eventually, someone will like your stuff!
