Film Festival Submission : Film Festivals are a great way to get exposure for your film, build buzz, potentially find a buyer for your film and it's a fantastic networking opportunity to meet other filmmakers and people in the biz. We feel Festivals have suffered under the reign of too-few submission outlets for long enough, locked into exclusive long term agreements, left alone without technical support for long periods without notice and charged exorbitant fees for ‘marketing’. IFS not just another submission service, it is an environment. We are building a place where you go if you are a festival organizer, buyer, VOD service,…

As with every campaign, a preliminary meeting with the client is vital in assessing the goals, focal points, range and spending budget associated with a given campaign. As soon as the guidelines are established, custom made proposal is prepared and delivered. Furthermore, one of several critical motivators we identified in the concerns from clients was that digital design and creative work (from websites to face book landing pages, personalized twitter pages, and so forth) have also been a fundamental element of any digital campaign.
