@ladaegorovafilmmaker: Here are some ways you can make the most out of attending a film festival: - attend panels so you can connect with the panelists and attendees + learn about the business and craft - attend after parties and networking events organized by the festival to connect with other filmmakers - watch other people's films and write down the name of their producers, crew members, directors to connect with later especially if you loved the film they made - print flyers and have little business cards you can hand out and leave in different places in the festival locations and in the city where the festival takes place - after the festival find the social media page of the festival and see who posted about attending it so you can connect online with people you may not have met during the festival - prior to the festival reach out to filmmakers and companies attending it to offer to meet during the festival - don't forget to take photos and videos of your team, red carpet, so you can then post on social media and promote your film!
