DOCU/PRO talk "Festival strategy or Why do you need a sales agent?" with Stephanie Fuchs, the Festival Manager at Autlook Filmsales (Austria).

How do you set up a festival strategy for your film? Which materials do you need to pitch the film, how do festival entries work and what does a good trailer look like? How has COVID-19 impacted this year’s festival landscape? How does one adapt to the new reality of hybrid and online festivals? How to approach and select a sales agent to work with? Stephanie will talk about every stage a film goes through after it’s finished and about her work with international film festivals. 
We invite producers, directors, distributors and anyone interested in learning how to make a documentary successful to join the conversation and ask Stephanie any festival-related questions you might have.
