IW - what are your thoughts on the efficacy of Film Festivals? Do unknown's really get a chance at the big time with respect to distribution and studio deals?
P.S. click on my name and see my replacement for WOTS. Hope you likey!
At this point, unfortunately, I don't think the festivals help the filmmakers and those involved on a large scale. But I keep supporting, and encourage others to do the same, cause that's the only way things will change.
IW-hey girl! :) will the Black Sundance be publicized (even a little bit) as compared to the non-Black Sundance??
Hello Bria :-)
The answer is simple. No.
