Dr. Smith is an absolute authority on all things Film Festival. I would highly recommend that any filmmaker looking to enter the circuit with a feature or short or documentary, follow this podcast closely. The podcast provides invaluable information on how film fests work, choose their films for programing, and how best to set your project up for success after you’ve been selected.
