You ask how to get into festivals...? well, all I can say is that in our case we were very fortunate to have David Strathairn, Ian Somerhalder, Jane Adams, Ann Cusack, Scott Wilson, Daniel Gillies, Joe Mazzello, and Elisabeth Waterston headlining our cast. We we fortunate to have Christophe Lanzenberg as our director of photographer. We were fortunate to have a team of producers and crew who were totally dedicated to making a good film. And last but not least we had a writer/director of exceptional talent who wrote a screenplay that got lots of folks excited and who managed to make the film he wanted to make. When everything comes together like that something special tends to show on the screen--at least it seems to have in the eyes of certain festival programmers. But how these things happen remains a mystery. A blessing to be sure, but still a mystery. I just hope we can pull it off again with our next one... John–Good analogy of the beautiful rose.

It's a great opportunity but with much work... (Hope your shooting SLA on digital... just sayin') LOL So what's your recommondations for getting into festivals? Many emerging filmmakers are fighting to get noticed and your film gained recognition very quickly.
