Sarasota FF

This is how Sarasota Film Festival president Mark Famiglio arrived to the opening night screening of this year's fest. By comparison, actor Kevin Kline arrived in this. Thanks to Jennifer Huber for sharing the photos on Flickr; you can read her article about the festival here or visit the festival's official site.

Sarasota film fest programmer Tom Hall was profiled on Film Festival Secrets back in November.

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.
