My short film is starting to get a bit of traction, but it’s a little over 20 minutes.
Many people say that length is hard to schedule because you could fit four 5 minute films in the slot.
Any recommendations on festivals that have a “mid-length” category?
It’s an offbeat dark comedy with a slight touch of surrealism, if that helps. Thanks.
In a bit of predicament here, as the title suggests. The smaller fest is still in a major city and has celebrities, red carpet etc. and we are scheduled in an amazing Saturday night slot (also on its awards night). And I’d feel really bad pulling out.
But the other festival is a high tier 2.
If we do pull out, can we still use the laurel on posters and promotional material, since technically we were an official selection?
Not sure what to do here.
It’s a short film if that matters.
Have any of you been stuck in this situation?
EDIT: Thanks for all the solid advice here. I really wasn’t trying to be rude or disrespectful, I’m just fairly new at this and am still learning the ropes.
Has anyone here attended or been a part of this festival? And if so, what was your experience like?
