The Trailer Festival.
OK, so you’ve done experimental cross platform narrative filmmaking and you’ve already made more short films than your agent approves of. Where next?
Well how about cutting together a teaser for your feature debut and sending it to The Trailer Festival?
Styling itself bluntly as “an event for the entertainment industry” this has a deliciously unflirty approach to attracting your submissive dollar. (thirty if you do this before the end of the month…) Here’s the pitch:
The Trailer Festival will take place on April 29th, 2010 at the ICM Screening Room in the MGM Tower, Century City, Los Angeles. Only trailers will be screened and the audience will be exclusively entertainment professionals.
This is an opportunity to get your work seen by companies like HBO, Universal and producers who have made hits such as ‘40 Year Old Virgin’ and ‘Lost’. A complete list of attendees is on The Industry page.
You can submit your sizzle reel whether you have just the script or if you have produced your entire film. Projects will be selected on merit alone and we will not ask for this information until after the selection process.
There will be a promotional DVD of the selected trailers which will be marketed for a year.
