FORM A FESTIVAL STRATEGY

• Choose festivals with "student friendly" categories
• Be able to attend festivals that accept your work
• Choose festivals that accept films of your genre

COMPLETE FESTIVAL SUBMISSION FORM

• Fill out submission forms thoroughly and carefully
• Submit on time — festivals do not accept late entries
• If submitting to several festivals, consider using withoutabox.com — an online paperless service that streamlines the entire process.
• DO NOT mail films in fiber filled envelopes

CREATE A PRESS KIT

• Cover
• Synopsis
• Bios
• Credits
• Production Stills

Each festival will vary. Festivals do not require an electronic press kit (EPK), but it is a very good idea to create one. EPK includes all the items listed above and a trailer, behind-the-scenes footage and interviews.
