Filmmaking / Directing : Festivals by Jack Hilkewich

Festivals

Hi everyone! Well I am finished my documentary, finally! It is feature length and my first documentary and feature length film. My question is: For those who have done this before, is there any particular Documentary festivals you would say to enter for sure? I would love to get accepted into all the major players but I understand that I have no pedigree and to even get accepted in to any of them is a real long shot. Is there any others that exist out there that have a smidgen of respect in the festival world that offer a slight chance of being accepted? I am doing research but I want to hear of some real world cases. I appreciate any time that some of you may give this question. Thanks!

Maurice Vaughan , thanks so much, Maurice. It is a relief to finally be finished but now I am floundering a bit because I always had that hanging over my head when I was being lazy and sitting on my couch. It took 15 years from start to finish so that's a large part of my life spent chipping away at it. Working on a trailer now and will post here once it's done.

You're welcome, Jack Hilkewich. It's inspiring. Hopefully your story encourages other people to make their documentaries and films! I'm looking forward to seeing the trailer!
