workshop

This workshop is a 1-day workshop and provides a breakdown of navigating the international film festival circuit as a filmmaker, in addition to the SVOD streaming & distribution opportunities for both feature & short films. Intended for both emerging & mid-career artists, festivals and their many intricacies will be demystified with the intent of equipping filmmakers of any kind with incisive strategies to disseminate their film in the most suitable forms. The workshop thus unfurls the following:
Profiling both your film and festivals to find the ideal fit
Building a submission workflow to construct an effective and precise workflow for one’s outreach to festivals
Developing correspondence strategies typically needed in order to get your film assessed
Determining which screening opportunities may not be worth your time
An overview of streaming services and their curatorial sensibility & payment structures
A summary of Canadian film distributors and the profile of their film slates
