What type of financial strategy do you have for your film and how do film festivals fit in? Can you do business at places like HOT-DOCS, Sundance, IDFA, Tribeca, Sheffield? And what type of business should you expect? Or is it all show and no business? Are festivals only for an elite group of filmmakers and meager budgets should be spent elsewhere?
