Online Film Festival Dos and Don'ts
MovieMaker - A podcast by MovieMaker Magazine
We're in the golden age of online film festivals: For the first time, movie lovers can watch brand-new, lovingly curated films from the comfort of home, without having to look for parking, stand in line, or beg for tickets. Are we looking for the bright side in a sad situation? Well, yeah. But if you're going to watch — or host — an online film festival, you'll want to be conscious of these online film festival dos and don'ts.Festivals are doing their best to make the viewing experience as great as possible, but our guests on the latest MovieMaker Interviews podcast have learned a little bit about what works and what doesn't. They are Wendy Eidson of the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival, one of the first to go online this year; Melanie Addington of the Oxford Film Festival, which is presenting new films weekly, and Michael Cain of EarthxFilm, which just wrapped. We hope you enjoy the episode, and come away with some good ideas about how to support independent film, and film festivals. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
