Film Festivals

It feels weird to still be working on a film and already be looking at film festivals. One that I am looking at is Indie Grits since it is a local film festival and actually quite decent. However, their submissions are due in December, so I will not get in the 2012 line up. This does not mean I won’t apply for 2013 though. Another one I am looking at is the Animation Block Party in New York City. First off, it seems like a legit festival and not a scam. Second, it is in New York City, so if selected, my film has a higher chance of being noticed by someone who works in the film industry. Third, its an animation festival, so I feel if nothing else, my work will be taken more seriously than at non-animation festivals. Since I have applied to film festivals before, I am familiar with the procedure. Yet, since animation is still new to me, I do wonder what other animation festivals there are and which ones fit my style.
