Summary: <br> HollyShorts: Confessions of a Film Festival Programmer<br> Have you ever wanted to know what really happens behind the scenes at a top level film festival like the HollyShorts Film Festival? Well this week I kidnapped co-founder and film festival programmer Daniel Sol, tied him up in a darken warehouse and shined a bright light on his face to get the truth out of him.<br> The interview might not have been that dramatic but Daniel laid down a ton of behind the scenes knowledge bombs for all you Indie Film Hustlers out there.<br> <a href="http://www.filmfestivalhacks.com" target="_blank" rel="attachment wp-att-3888"></a><br> HollyShorts! and I go way back. My first short film <a href="https://www.indiefilmhustle.com/short-film/">BROKEN</a> played at the very first HollyShorts Film Festival over a decade ago and I’ve been friends with Daniel Sol and Theo Dumont (co-founders) ever since.<br> They truly care about filmmakers and were named one of the Top 25 film festivals in the world worth the submission fee by Filmmaker Magazine. <br> Enjoy my candid chat with Daniel Sol from the HollyShorts!
