Coffee & Content: Navigating Festivals and Markets

Happy Sunday, Creative Army!

I've got my coffee in hand and your weekly dose of content coming in hot - grab your coffee of choice, and let's dive right in.

I have been having a fantastic time here at the Austin Film Festival, especially this weekend at our 9th Annual Rooftop Bash, where I met with hundreds of our Stage 32 members (both new and long-time members). The conversations I've been having with executives on how high demand is for great material and the stories from creatives here are so inspiring... I always say it's the #GreatContentGoldrush, and that feeling has been clear here at Austin. And the fun is just starting because now I'm gearing up for the American Film Market. So let's keep the market conversations going and look at how you can use the American Film Market and other festivals and move your goals forward.

First up, Stage 32 Thought Leader and Fintage House executive, David Zannoni, talks to Stage 32 about how to navigate the markets and festivals and all of the networking opportunities available to you. 

Next, the American Film Market gives you tips on how to work the market to achieve your goals. And don't forget, I will be on the Innovators panel at AFM. Also, as the official networking and education partner of AFM, all attendees who sign up for the conference will receive a FREE Stage 32 Next Level Webinar to further assist their craft and/or industry pursuits. I hope to see you there!

Lastly, Indie Film Hustle, who will be on the Innovators panel with me, has an awesome podcast on how to crack the "festival code."
