The Film Festival Doctor Podcast

5

Hi! I'm Rebekah Louisa Smith, The Film Festival Doctor and my podcast is designed to help you achieve film festival success and beyond.

Not only to do we cover with our guests the key things to include in your festival strategy, including creating your goals, planning your budgets and which festivals to target, we also go beyond this and talk about the importance of attaching a sales agent to your film, theatrical distribution planning and the all-important personal and self-development skills to name just a few of the topics we cover with our fascinating and celebrated guests.

There will also be spotlight interviews with our clients who share their festival journey with you and how important the festival circuit is for your film.

    Important podcast for any filmmaker
    Dr. Smith is an absolute authority on all things Film Festival. I would highly recommend that any filmmaker looking to enter the circuit with a feature or short or documentary, follow this podcast closely. The podcast provides invaluable information on how film fests work, choose their films for programing, and how best to set your project up for success after you’ve been selected. A must for any and all producers and directors.
