beforeyousubmit's Podcast

Today is Dec. 3rd, 2008 and Sundance will announce most of their line-up to the 2009 film festival. BEFORE YOU SUBMIT goes into the submission process of the typical film festival, and when you should submit. So when should you submit your film to their film festival? What happens when you don't get into Sundance? Stay tuned for the Sundance Line-Up PODCAST

Brian Quain (Before You Submit) and Jim DeDSantis (MovieBrainRot) bring you another festival tip that can help ALL first time film festival submitters. KNOW YOUR FILM! Who's your audience? Where's your festival? We can help your film find a home, give a listen.

We know you have been frazzled getting to the box office at ANY film festival. What movie to see? Any filmmakers in town? Does this movie play again in the festival? Well, Brian Quain (BEFORE YOU SUBMIT) and Jim DeSantis (MOVIE BRAIN ROT) don't know the answer to those questions, since there are volunteers and staff members for festivals who do have them. In this PODCAST, we hand over the advice of getting to know the staff and friends who bring you a FILM FESTIVAL. Music - Zoot Woman "It's Automatic"

Brian Quain (BEFORE YOU SUBMIT) and Jim DeSantis (MOVIE BRAIN ROT) get into Theaters, Festivals/Conventions, Premiere Status', and International Actors. What makes it fair for a festival to lie about their premiere status? What makes a theater different from other theaters? What makes an international actor so good, or bad, because we're reading more than watching them act? Once again, Brian and Jim, tackle, off and on many tangents, issues in the indie, mainstream, and international film world.

FESTIVAL TIP: Avoiding The Mainstream Going to a film festival can be overwhelming, and in such a short time, how can you manage to see all the films? In most cases, you won't, but this strategy helps you see as many throughout the festival, and by the end of the year. MOVIE BRAIN ROT'S Jim DeSantis asks the question, Before You Submit's Brian Quain helps answer, but together they bring you an unscripted solution to "Avoiding The Mainstream"
