Why Us?
The 'human factor': A human being at InFestation will tailor design a well educated and unique strategy for your film. While online film festival entry portals are great (and certainly impressive), they can't take into account either the filmmaker's personal goals or the latest festival 'buzz'. Plus you can talk to us!
InFestation vs Film Sales Agents: InFestation works differently to a film sales agent because we are focused on the filmmaker and their goals which we understand may or may not have anything to do with financial reward. We think that decision should be up to you. Film sales agents are sales focused - we are filmmaker focused.
Hundreds & Thousands (that's festivals and dollars!): There are quite literally hundreds (if not thousands) of film festivals out there. When you're confronted with a huge list of festivals there is going to be the temptation to enter everything, which is both costly and time consuming. Every festival has a different audience, market and purpose so it makes a lot more sense to target specific festivals.
We have pre-existing relationships with a large number of film festivals: Selectors are often looking for films well in advance of their official entrance period and being an early bird is always an advantage (we're also happy to try for late entries for you as well).
Life is too short: We are happy to take care of all of the 'boring' elements of festival entry like filling out entry forms, dealing with materials and tracking entries so you have more time to do what you like!
