Coming to LA

Hi all! I'm moving to LA for few months and I'm bringing with me my brand new short movie Carvina. Produced thanks to a crowdfunding in Switzerland and now ready to be seen! Anyone in LA to help me with local festivals and promotion? www.aglajaamado.com

Brian Gerson

Look at gather.us, it allows you to hold screenings at participating theaters by selling tickets.

Hi Megan! How exciting...the first year for your festival! We, here at Shortz! Film Festival in Chico, CA, wish you great success and a terrific turn out. My husband and I will come and check it out.

Megan Peterson

Renee!! So great to see/hear from you again and thank you for your support! I look forward to seeing you again (I remember you well from the Heathens screening), and please encourage any of your filmmakers to submit!! :-)

Ed Vela

Hey, Megan, I was about to submit my screenplay to your fest under the Early Bird Deadline, but I saw a space for Discount Codes and was wondering it you had any for starving, undiscovered screenwriters before I finish my submission?

Megan Peterson

Ed, I just PM'd you. Shoot me your email when you have a chance. Thanks for your interest in our festival!
