Over at the NEW BREED there is a discussion brewing about Managing Expectations on the Festival Circuit. Various NB filmmakers weigh-in on the topic by sharing some of their experiences and opinions around the value of festivals. Last month Zak Forsman (see recent Q&A for more details on Zak) headed to SXSW. He brought along his camera.

  • I'm in the middle of prepping for a March 30th DVD release (online distribution and perhaps digi download). I've already started my myspace page and have been blogging. after reading your blog I have a concern about this process: how does one begin locating/contacting potential audiences for a niche film if they keep all content embargoed?
