A filmmaker just sent a thank you note for a blog I wrote last month on the Cannes' Short Film Corner. Attached to his email were two items: 1. his film's press kit, and 2. a press release announcing his film's arrival to Cannes' Short Film Corner.
The filmmaker has not submitted to either of our fests and I have nothing invested in him, nor he I. I don't know him from Adam.
This is what I can tell you about him from the friendly, short and concise email...
1. He plans ahead to ensure he is as well prepared as possible for the event he will be attending.
2. He's a short filmmaker.
3. He is compelled to participate in all aspects of the filmmaking process, including marketing and distribution.
4. If a festival were to accept his work, his marketing skills would probably prove to be a great asset toward promoting his work at the fest.
5. He understands that an independent filmmaker is formidably responsible for marketing his film after the completion of production.
Below is what I learned from the two attachments which accompanied his email.
The filmmaker's name is Craig Whitney. The film is called Harvest Home. He has a blog and a press kit which you can download from his site. Harvest Home also has a Facebook, MySpace, IMDB, ShortFilmCorner page, and a production company called Better Archangel Pictures. Not surprisingly, Harvest Home also has a trailer... Enjoy!
