Build a Festival Strategy that Works

Friday February 20th 2pm-4pm PST

Join Film Fatales for an in-depth, virtual Festival Strategy Workshop led by Kimberley Browning, a shorts programmer for Tribeca Festival and founder of Hollywood Shorts. This webinar will feature case studies from three participating filmmakers.

Want to learn what film festival programmers are really looking for? Join this online workshop to explore tips and insights on evaluating your film in order to create a productive festival strategy. We will review a selection of films from workshop participants, and delve into the process of understanding the best types of festivals to maximize each film’s potential. We will also explore how festivals can be part of your overall distribution plans, audience building, and how they can advance your career. Filmmakers and film lovers of all backgrounds are invited to attend.

Three participants will be invited to share their current projects to be used as case studies for live feedback during the webinar. Attendees are welcome to submit a link to their films when they RSVP to be considered for this exciting opportunity. Film Fatales members are invited to log in to our website for their discount member ticket. Filmmakers of all experience levels will be invited to watch the workshop and learn from the case studies.

Accessibility Notes: This online webinar will be accessible with self descriptions, auto captions, and ASL upon request. The recording will be available for an additional 48 hours after the live event ends.  Please contact us to request an accessible accommodation. See you soon!
