Description

In this episode: Chris Holland talks about the legwork of creating a festival strategy, in particular the research you should be doing about the festivals you think you want to submit to. Things like:

* What things can tell me if the festival I'm looking at is legit or not?
* How can I tell if this festival is appropriate for my film?
* How can I make the most of my time on the web?
* What are the red flags that might make me think about spending my money elsewhere?
