In the world of independent filmmaking, film festivals are a key component of every business plan. These venues are where audiences become fans and distributors sign up the next little film that could. Until now, the inner-workings of these festivals remained a secret.

Join your fellow San Diego Filmmakers as we get access to the top decision makers from some of the region's top film festivals. If you are currently making the festival circuit, or are producing a project that is headed there, this is your chance to get the inside scoop on how and why festivals do the things they do. This panel discussion will explore the world of film festivals and answer your questions about how to get accepted, what they are looking for, and more!

Don't forget to bring your business cards and head shots! Please be sure to tell everyone you know in the San Diego filmmaking community about this exciting event. If you aren't connected with us on MySpace, Facebook, or Twitter, now's a good time to do so and spead the word about this meeting!
