Notes Periodically we will have Scott Simmons on as our host to go into a deep conversation with the author of a Pro Video Coalition article to go even further than what you read. Enjoy! If you haven't by now, make sure to take a look at Arthur's article on Pro Video Coalition. Then, if you're looking to get your film some exposure, Arthur says Cannes, Toronto, Sundance, Berlin, Tribeca, Rotterdam, and Clermont-Ferrand are the top festivals out there. But festivals aren't everything, you might be more likely to make a sale at a place like the American Film Market. Check out Film-Com for packaging, financing, and distribution of your film. Arthur recommends IMDB Pro for the kind of sales information you can't find elsewhere.
