It's Friday and I'm actually on time to post an episode on Patreon!

This week I had the pleasure to sit down and chat with Nathan Ludwig. Nathan is the film festival director of GenreBlast Film Fest, a festival I met many of my past guests at. Because Nathan was a pretty open book and is putting on a fest I truly respect, I thought he would be the perfect guest to chat with about the inner workings of festivals.

We also discuss going from being filmmaker and attending fests to starting a festival, the stress that goes along with a massive event like a film festival, what the best practices for submitting your film to a festival would be, problems festivals see with submissions, the fun of attending festivals, and so much more!

Thank you to everyone who sent in comments and questions to speakpipe.com/lowbudgetrebels! If you have anything you'd like to ask, advice for filmmakers that you have to offer, or low-budget film recommendations, don't be afraid to send 'em. I love hearing from you.

If you're a filmmaker thinking about sending your films to festivals soon, this episode might just be for you :)

CHEERS!
