distribution & marketing
Each STUDENT will submit a
- promotional HEADSHOT
- four-sentence BIOGRAPHY
- personal EMAIL address
- hometown MEDIA OUTLET list (where do we send the press releases when your film starts winning big awards? What are your local newspapers, TV & radio stations?)
Each PROJECT will have a
- completed FILM FREEWAY profile
- one-year COMPETITION CALENDAR of local, regional, national, global, and qualifying, festivals and contests.
- designated PROJECT MANAGER. Who will answer Film Freeway and festival correspondence for the next year of competition? Who will communicate good news to the professor and the university? Who maintains the film’s relevant account passwords? This is usually your film’s producer, but should not be a graduating senior.
- Evidence (usually in the form of a Film Freeway SUBMISSION SUMMARY or receipts) that your film has been entered in no fewer than 5 film festivals. Initially, you should probably target no less than $100 of your film’s budget in entry fees. To accommodate evolving competition calendars, you should plan to enter more festivals six months from the film’s premiere date.
