Hi all, I am excited to share my new website; It has a link to my four short comedies, as well as my blog and a shout-out space. Check it out if you have a moment. Comment, suggestions are greatly appreciated! https://vickikozel.com Thank you!! Vicki

Hello, I'd love some help navigating film festivals. There is a trillion of them out there, and I am somewhat lost deciding which ones are good fits for our films. We've produced four shorts (comedies) so far; we call them web series, but I guess they can be treated as short films as well. I'd love to connect with someone who can take a look at the films (I don't mind paying a reasonable fee for this, we are a very small budget however) and based on their knowledge/experience recommend the right festivals, as well as the right selection of a film for a festival. Thank you! Vicki

I am looking to connect with like-minded people. Technology has done a wonderful thing for the world – it made things accessible, cheap and easy. Yet the media has never been more infected with a “click me” phenomenon than it is today. I am sure there are people out there who like to filter out sensationalism and hype from their media streams, just like I do, and find a place where they can create and share meaningful, high quality work. My one-act comedies have been produced in San Francisco and New York City, and a couple of years ago I took on writing and directing a short comedy series found here: https://vimeo.com/vickikozel I believe that fast, dialog-driven scripts make the perfect material for low-budget, high-quality cinema. I live in San Francisco, and find the city and the Valley to be perfect places for inspiring creative voices with geekish overtones. Would love to connect for critique, advice, brainstorming and collaboration. Vicki
