Headphones It's time for another episode and an embarrassing faux pas: Jesse Trussell and I talk about the upcoming Austin madness that is South by Southwest. Also, I momentarily forget that the Dallas International Film Fest has outgrown its AFI affiliation. I'm sure they'll forgive me eventually. Listen now.

Links mentioned in the podcast:

  • Tribeca Film Fest announces Shrek 4 as its opening night film
  • Tim & Eric Season Cinco
  • South by Southwest Film Festival
  • Coney Island Baby
  • Junko's Shamisen
  • Short Film Secrets talk at SXSW | Facebook invite
  • Dallas International Film Fest
  • Atlanta Film Festival

Programmer Profile: Lane Kneedler, AFI Fest
The Better Film Festival Submissions Toolkit has a very simple purpose: to help you improve the way you submit your work to film festivals.

Divided into 7 core tasks with a discussion of each task, the 16-page Toolkit is designed for quick reading and gives you concrete, actionable tasks to make your film submissions package better. Best of all, you'll get the insight you need to better understand what programmers look for and how to submit with confidence.
