Festivals

I think festivals and planning for festivals is a very important part of distribution.

Contests, Too

Contests, Too

In lieu of trying to get a film produced the traditional (read: extremely difficult) way, I agree that film festivals and contests are key- many are free or have a small entry fee, and depending on how you do, you can get cash prizes or even ready-made production deals.

Festivals are a great way to get recognition, distribution deals and help fuel the next round of funding for another film.
