Festivals with Doc and Doc Shorts Programmers that take pop culture or commerically relatable films

Hi, I am a typical enviro filmmaker who has been submitting on the doc prestige or niche circuit for the last 10 years, I understand those programmers well and the majority looks for social issue or character driven docs that drive world issues etc. I now have a film about Saturday Night Live fans. Its short and charming and very well done but I'm worried that the usual suspects will just pass over it because it doesn't feel "important" etc. Trying to figure out my strategy and though I will focus heavily on mid-tier regional fests, I am trying to think laterally about what other fests might be interested. High production value and entertaining. Recommendations are welcome.

I am trying to move away from microplastics and thinking about trying organic cotton focused gum wear. These brands keep being advertised heavily to me and wondering what people think who have tried them. Pact sees to cheap to be responsible but they’ve been around longer.
