This workshop provides students with a simple approach to submitting their film to festivals and what to do after submitting.


You've finished your film and you're ready for the world to see it. When you start looking at festivals, it can get overwhelming. We will talk through how to find the festivals that are right for your film and how to submit, track your submissions, and how to set yourself up for success when you're accepted.
