out sourcing film fest applications

[Ldogg]

I am wrapping up a feature length documentary, and my goal is to try and get it played at as many film festivals as possible (obviously).

My time however is consumed by editing, and I don't really have much time to research festivals, understand their audiences, films they accept traditionally, etc... Basically I don't know anything about this stage in the game.

I was wondering if their is a business position in existence out there, where you hire someone to comb the film fests, and applications, etc... and send all that stuff off for you?Basically is there professionals who do the dirty work, and who are they? Thanks.

I am also interested in this, so if anyone knows of such a service drop me a PM or post here.

try without a box. they streamline the process and often have a one-submission-for-many-festivals thing going... it's not completely outsourcing since you have to do some work, but it'll help a ton and you'll get notifications almost every day about festivals and their deadlines, etc. mc
