The Circuit

Ted Hope has published a series of posts about having a film festival plan -- vital reading for anyone getting into the circuit.  I particularly like his take on making fests work for you:

Festivals are a great place to sell DVDs of your film, but will the Festival let you? It's probably a good idea to inquire in advance. Will you be able to set up a table outside the theater? Will you need to have a website in order to sell them? Will you need to have some one do the fulfillment? Figure this out before you show up.
