Oxford Film Festival – An Eye Opening Experience
Posted by: | Comments
I recently had an opportunity to accept an invitation to the Oxford Film Festival to be on a panel and to do a workshop. This was my first journey to one of the smaller festivals on the circuit. I must say going to this festival was definitely an eye-opening experience for me.
See for many years I only saw festivals such as Sundance, Cannes, Toronto as festivals filmmakers such as myself would want to go to. Why? Because that's where the buyers were. Not only were they great festivals but distribution and sales reps were there. To be quite honest I always thought the smaller festivals were a bit of a waste of time. Boy was I wrong.
Lucky for me on the van ride from Memphis to Oxford I was joined by a charming fellow named Chris Holland. Not only is Chris a cool guy but he is all knowing in the realm of film festivals. He even wrote a book about it: Film Festival Secrets. During my stay there we had a lot of time to hang out together at events and he really drilled in my head the importance of small festivals for filmmakers. Read More→
