How to Take Care of Your Mental Health During A Film Festival: https://nofilmschool.com/mental-healt...

I’m breaking down the film festival submission hacks every indie filmmaker needs if they’re tired of constant rejections. In this video, I walk through practical do’s and don’ts that actually move the needle: how to create a real festival strategy, avoid wasting money on the wrong events, build a budget that includes marketing materials, strengthen your edit with outside feedback, stop rushing to deadlines, and submit smartly across a variety of festivals. I also dig into overlooked advantages like cover letters, director’s statements, and staying active on social media without begging for attention. Finally, I tackle the mental health side of the festival grind and explain why obsessing over Vimeo analytics or FilmFreeway statuses will sabotage you. If you want to improve your chances of getting selected, this is the insight most filmmakers never get.
