Maybe they should provide more money to the festival film viewers / jury to do a fully honest and cognizant job of selecting. That’s important work, which for some festivals sometimes seems like a bit of a bs configuration. Though, it is the festival viewer / critic that spends the sometimes difficult and time-consuming work of assessing all of these films.
If they’re making more money and not expanding their festivals, why not pay some of the artists? It also seems like this is a case-by-case. > On Apr 30, 2019, at 5:29 PM, Tim Halloran <televis...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Start your own filmmaker-friendly festivals. > > Tim > > Sent from my iPad > > On Apr 30, 2019, at 3:20 PM, Marcin Gizycki <mgizy...@hotmail.com > <mailto:mgizy...@hotmail.com>> wrote: > >> I am bothered more by the fact that festivals charge a lot of money not >> giving much in exchange.
