hello all.
i finally made my first film on Hi-8. you guys would have forgotten me by now...caus i've been away for a while.

yup. i did it. and got it screened in the biggest theatre in the city and probably the state! we got a full house with around 1200 people. i almost cried...

now, let me come to the point.
its a 32 min documentary film and i'd like to send to diff film festivals or contests. i'd like some help in that area. does anyone know of any good places to where i can send it? it's my first...so, tell me accordingly.

Congrats on finishing the doc. You might try FULL FRAME FESTIVAL. It's one of the best doc festivals in the country.

The INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTARY FILM FESTIVAL in Amsterdam should be good also.

Other than those two, you might try Google to find others.

Good luck.

I'm also getting into documentary films and if anyone would like to discuss them with me, send me a private message or email. cardsharkdave@yahoo.com
