Coffee & Content - Get Your Short Film Screened at Festivals & Editing: Holding Long & Cutting Short

Happy Sunday to all my creative friends.  Hope you're all having an awesome weekend.  First up for Coffee & Content this week, with so many Stage 32 members creating short films and short form digital content, I thought it might be worth having a look at Filmmaker IQ's recent video How to Get Your Short Screened at Film Festivals.  Certainly interested in hearing your thoughts on this one! Next, from our friends at Cinefix, yet another comprehensive video.  This time, it's a look at 2 brilliant moments in editing from 2 fantastic films: Ida and No Country for Old Men.  As always, my only ask is that you pay it forward and share the Coffee & Content blog with those you feel would benefit from viewing the content.  And of course, comments welcome below! Enjoy the content! Cheers! RB   How to Get Your Short Film Screened at Festivals Holding Long and Cutting Short:  2 Brilliant Moments in Editing Like this blog post?

3 Ways You Can Create Meaningful Social Media Relationships Today

If there was one subject that dominated the questions asked during my recent Stage 32 AMA, it was about best practices on social media.  Many of you wanted to know how to go about creating meaningful relationships that would help accelerate your path to success.  You know my feelings on this subject as it relates to launching and maintaining a career in film and content creation: Relationships = Reads Relationships = Jobs Relationships = Financing Relationships = Champions of you and your work Relationships = Greater opportunities Since we only had about 90 minutes, I was unable to get to all of your questions.  Therefore, I decided to tackle the most asked as part of my new article for Medium - 3 Ways You Can Create Meaningful Social Media Relationships Today. I hope you find the material helpful and that it inspires you to change/enhance your social media habits and increase the time spent on building relationships that matter.  And remember, you can see all my previous Medium articles and follow me on the platform here Enjoy!
