We locked the Reparando edit this week. We still have work to complete before we are completely finished, but decided to move forward with Film Festival entries so we could make some of the 2010 season. Film festivals are a great way to present a film to a broad audience, network in the film community, and possibly gain distribution. A few of the festivals are Oscar qualifying … it doesn’t hurt to dream. We are hopeful that Reparando will not only get accepted into festivals, but that it will win a few to gain some exposure for our film and help raise capital for Micro-Finance in Guatemala.
Through an amazing website called withoutabox.com we were able to enter into 17 film festivals scheduled from August 2010 through March 2011 with relative ease. We will notify you as soon as we know if our film is accepted into each festival. We look forward to sharing this amazing story with the public.
The table below details the film festivals we have entered so far and are listed in order of festival dates.
