Spanish low budget film( 15,000 euros)

Hello,

My name is Alejandro.

I am first time director from Spain. What I mean is, that I just made my first low budget film in Spanish. It has English subtitles. It is a dark comedy. None of the actors are well known. So my question is. What can I do now with the film? Besides being a great learning experience I would like to know if any festivals could be interested or what are the channels to get this movie some exposure. Sorry for my bad English.

If anyone has any questions, suggestions or any comments please let me know.

Here is the link to the video.

I watched the video. Great job. It has a really nice film look, especially for 15,000 Euros. And the actors all come across as professional. I especially like your two young guys. You should be able to find a buyer or certainly get in some festivals.

Have you tried contacting Film Factory or Filmax in Barcelona? They handle a lot of Spanish material. As a European film you already have a leg up, and they have good Latin American distribution partners.

Distribber may also be a good option for you to look at, but Spanish language material is a tough sell in the US, though Netflix seems to have a pretty robust selection.

If you start with the festival route, check out Without a Box. They're the primary resource for submitting to festivals. It's free. You upload your film to a secure sever and submit and pay submission fees to the festivals you want to apply to through them (they make money off a percentage of the submission fees). Almost every festival uses them.

Don't share the 15,000 budget with potential buyers. You're proud and rightly so. But it will immediately influence what they think about the film and how hard they have to work to sell it. If pressed, you made it for under a hundred thousand. Brag about the budget after it sells.
