Moondance and Sundance but their are many other probable's which you could Google. IceDance is not emerging until 2023! Also study the festival audiences who may specialize in your particular film genre.

Debbie - I won Moondance back in 2013. Professionally, it did me absolutely no good.

www.filmfreeway.com, create a profile, sign-up for free e-mails, more information than you can shake a slate at. Do your research for themes, criteria, audience. Otherwise, you can spend a ton of money fast.

@Doug COOL you won Moondance. Festival accolades rarely bump winner's bank balances but hey you got the tee shirt! Back in the 90s I got Golds acting from two drama schools and that did not even get me into Equity.

Debbie, I graduated from CU in '69 so it was fun to return to Boulder. Like most every town of that era, it has dramatically CHANGED, an' sadly, not for the better.

Hey@Doug COOL you were around in 69. I'm a kinda a "Bohemian" who wished they witnessed that year. Things change, granted. However truth comes out in cycles of time.
