2015 Facts and Figures:
I think that distributing my short film by applying for a film festival is a good way to widen my audience and get access to future contacts if I were to make another short film again. By distributing my short film through a festival it would allow me to successfully target my audience as a lot of young people between the age of 18-30 seem to attend these festivals. It also will allow me to network with other filmmakers and could be a way to find future collaborators. Film festivals can open a door to traditional distribution oppurtunities within the film industry and there is even a chance to win awards for elements within the short film. I believe that film festivals are good ways to meet a variety of different people involved in short films and could help create a much larger audience than expected for my film.
