Film+Festival+Workshop

== =Funding Letters:= Every year we send out funding letters to local businesses, politicians, organizations & people. We also send funding letters outside of our community, but we primarily focus on our immediate neighborhood so they feel a part of the festival. Here's an example.

=Press Releases= No one knows what you're doing unless you tell them. We send press releases to newspapers & TV Channels. You want to get as much publicity as you can so you can fill up the seats! Here's an example.

=MEETINGS!= Here are some examples of our notes. Meetings are very productive when you have an agenda to follow.

=Map the venue= Here's our breakdown of the festival.

=Watch SFETT Movies!= Click on image below to see movies or click here.

=WHY POST ONLINE?= The great thing about posting your work online is that the whole world becomes your audience. Before the explosion of YouTube, Vimeo & Social Networking it was difficult to share your work. You had sites like Ad Critic & Atom Films that showed early signs of crowd sharing, but now you have the capability to share your work with everyone by creating a digital platform where you can post your films and have the audience add comments to your work.

=TIPS:= Here are some tips we recommend you visit when looking for a story to shoot.

-Film community events -Find cool & interesting mom & pop shops -Capture that one story you mom/dad/relative always tells you. You will be surprised how global your relative's story can be -Ask community members to help you film your projects -If you don't have a movie camera, then make a photo story--take pix & add an audio component to your story -Make a video of your favorite poem or short story -To incorporate children have them help you color and design characters for a puppet movie
