NAVIGATING THE FILM FESTIVAL WORLD
For most emerging filmmakers, the goal of launching a film on the film festival circuit begins with one singular dream: SUNDANCE! But what lies beyond Sundance for you and your film? In this informative seminar, film festival programmer/film consultant Thomas Ethan Harris (former Director of Programming, Los Angeles Film Festival and Palm Springs International Short Film Festival) offers filmmakers practical skills to navigate the world of film festivals to maximum effect. What are the most significant film festivals and showcases you should be considering right now before that ultimate Sundance dream fades and you are left with a very good film with no place to show it?

These sound like some great informational seminars. I wish I lived closer I would love to figure out the whole film festival world!
I agree with Manny, it would be great for them to offer seminars around the country!

They should host seminars like that in other cities as well. Seattle, anyone??
