AMA with Artistic Director of New Orleans Film Festival. May 13 1pm - 3pm ET
Hey r/FilmFestivals!
I’m Clint Bowie, Artistic Director of the New Orleans Film Society.
Every year I review hundreds and hundreds of films from around the world for the New Orleans Film Festival, French Film Festival and other NOFS programming initiatives. The New Orleans Film Festival is Oscar-qualifying in the Animated Short, Documentary Short, and Narrative Short categories. Last year we had 5 alums on the Oscar shortlist and one (The Devil is Busy) nominated for Best Documentary Short. We’ve also been on MovieMaker Magazine’s Top 50 Film Festivals Worth The Entry Fee for 15 years running!
Join me for an AMA on r/filmfestivals Wednesday, May 13 from 1–3 PM ET.
I’ll be talking about:
- what makes a submission stand out
- programming strategy
- festival trends
- navigating the festival circuit
- AI in film and film submissions
- dealing with rejection
As a thank-you to the community, we’ll also share an exclusive $10 FilmFreeway submission discount code during the AMA.
Looking forward to your questions and conversation.
