Providencia Ave., Burbank, CA Paul Luebbers, Project and Festival Director Darren Gould, Editor and Entries Manager www.168festival.com

  2. Working with Darren Gould • I had the unique opportunity of working with Darren Gould of Capitol Films, Los Angeles. • We worked together receiving entries during the deadline hours for the 168 Film Festival in Burbank, Ca on February 27, 2009. • Our job was to digitize all entries to one standard format for the judges to view. • Software used, Apple’s Compressor within Final Cut Studio.

  3. After spending two days viewing, converting and digitizing entriesthese are the lessons learned. • Filmmakers starting with higher resolution were able to preserve the quality by submitting on large hard drives vs. DVDs. • Poorest quality videos with the most problems were turned in on tapes. • Groups that ran short on time finishing their entry often did not have time to test or trouble shoot their final entry submission. • Film Festivals are a fantastic real world scenario.

  4. Pre-Production the Key • Properly planned out projects will reap the reward towards the end of post and even when considering distribution to multiple film festivals

  5. Typical Hi End Workflow • Kona 3 Example

  6. Options for Filmmakers • Young filmmakers with limited resources need options. • www.withoutabox.com lets one search for festivals that accept specific formats. • Career Classes offer incredible opportunities for equipment usage and teamwork.

  7. Opportunities Galore www.workbookproject.com is an excellent example of a site for filmmakers to learn storytelling and enter contests. One feature film will receive a week long theatrical run with PR, street team and social media support at the state of the art DOWNTOWN INDEPENDENT THEATRE

  12. How I will incorporate what I learned from this externship. • By working with a professional film festival in LA, I came to the realization that our own OC Film Festival by David Junker is a very important event that can change the future for my students. • This year I have required students to submit at least two entries to a film festival. • I will volunteer and help with the OC Film Festival to support this important event.
