GoFilmFest Supports Independent Film
Jul 01, 2007 10:17PM
Gofilmfest.com is my web site which I've developed to support independent Film through encouraging Film Festivals as the main activity or a part of someone's travel plans. GoFilmFest.com offers great information to help plan your trip and even the ability to plan and book this online.
When you make a film festival a part of your travel trip...you are helping the film festival:
a) be a sustainable entity
b) because if a festival can show it has attracted people outside the community this demonstrates they've contributed to a communities economic development.
c) This in turn helps the festival in attracting additional sponsorships and grants...ie...money
d) ...and with usually ticket and pass sales representing at best 30% of a film festivals budget...sponsorship and grant money is critical to a film festivals sustainability year after year.
Film Festival's bring divergent voices to communities and cover unique world and issue stories that are not covered well via conventional media. I believe we need this critical information and should:
a) encourage friends, family and acquantances to attend film festivals
b) attend more film festivals ourselves to connect with these important happenings in the world and ...
c) support independent filmmakers in other ways including donating to film festivals, being an investor in independent films themselves, buying filmmakers DVD's and through a miriad of other supporting behaviors...
Last...GoFilmFest.com see's the need to provide other services and help to Independent Filmmakers and Film Festivals and will in the future be adding services on our website www.gofilmfest.com to help these efforts! We're curious as to what information you as a film festival attendee value...Please let me know so we can look to include this on our website.
I will be responding to other blogs as the bottom line is that I am an Independent Film Fan and love this art form.
See you at the Movies!
