I personally think that the premiere status requirement placed by many top festivals is a bit over-the-top and unnecessary. If your film gets into some obscure fest attended by ten people and that alone disqualifies you from having a shot, that makes no sense to me. Or even a nice regional fest with no press coverage.
Shout out to Slamdance for being relaxed on that front.
Hi everyone! I hope this is allowed on here, if not, feel free to remove. It's been quite the journey for me. After taking up screenwriting in early-mid 2023 (just before the strikes), I got consumed into the world of screenwriting. I consumed videos, books, etc, but this subreddit was the main hub of info for me, so I sincerely thank the members for providing so much valuable free information.
After finding the funding/pitching process too slow, I decided to shoot my first feature myself (I had done one short film before). I wrote the script, got lots of help from my generous team and network in terms of locations, budget, etc. And directed it in eight days.
The very first public screening of my first feature-length film "The Critic's Show" Instagram handle: thecriticsshowfilm will be on Wednesday, May 13 at 8:30 PM at L.A. Live/Regal Cinemas in Los Angeles. This is a part of the LA Film Fest.
Please DM me if interested in tickets.
The film is a very fun, over the top dark comedy about a filmmaker who seeks revenge on his meanest critic.
It stars Rachel Fox (Desperate Housewives, iCarly, CSI: Cyber).
We worked very hard on the film so it would mean a lot if you came to support it at the screening! It's also a great opportunity for networking.
If you have any questions or want tickets, feel free to DM me.
Hope to see you there!

Do you basically always have to generate buzz at the top 3-4 fests first or is it possible to acquire buzz at more mid-tier and regional fests first and then get invited?
Thanks!
