Austin Film Festival is ‘Worth the Entry Fee’
So reports Moviemaker Magazine in its annual compilation of film fests that are good for filmmakers to participate in.
The magazine writes that no longer do filmies have to dream about Sundance and Cannes. They can enter their scripts and movies to a host of other festivals that cater more to newbies and up and comers.
More:
“Now more than ever there are excellent alternatives — festivals that go the extra mile to make certain that a moviemaker’s efforts are well-compensated. … Whether the payoff comes in the form of a generous cash prize, the opportunity to hobknob with an industry titan, or just a fattening of one’s press kit and crew Rolodex, the festivals that are worth your fee and your time can make all the difference in your burgeoning career. … We searched the country (and our good neighbor to the north) to bring you a list of 25 of the finest, though perhaps lesser-known, festivals that are very much worth the fee. And maybe because of the recession, this year we paid special attention to festivals that emphasize shorts.”
The list is in alphabetical order, placing AFF way up high. HERE’s the whole list.
