Can't make it out to a film fest panel in the real world? Prefer to sit behind your laptop and tweet the night away? Buddy, have we got the film panel for you. Film Threat presents the latest Film in 140 Panel - "Tips and Tricks for the 2011 Film Festival Season." Hosted entirely on Twitter! Starts tonight (Wednesday Jan 12) at 9 p.m. EST.
Update 1/13: The panel was last night and it was a lot of fun, if somewhat chaotic. You can see the transcript in the panel link and I'll be doing a quick write-up of the major points soon.
Panelists include:
Dan Mirvish, co-founder of the Slamdance Film Festival Hammad Zaidi, Lonely Seal Releasing Yours truly!
Things I plan to talk about tonight:
- What NOT to include in your submission envelope
- Things you don't realize that festival programmers are saying about your film
- The one big mistake made by (almost) every first-time filmmaker
