I loved that everyone's festival was completely different. Each festival had quirks about them that made them memorable. For example, I remember that Ally's festival, Indie Grits, incorporated puppetry and family hip hop day into their festival. I wasn't sure as to why but I thought it was interesting and it helped me to remember them specifically. Something I noted was that a lot of festivals did not have a kickstarter account or an indiegogo account. However, I think that both are super handy when trying to raise money for a festival. I asked myself "Why not?" a lot when I was looking at other's research materials.
What sponsor ideas were sparked from the posts so far? Which festival/conference inspired this and why?
Most of the festivals had local sponsors who donated money, which we could easily incorporate into Visions. While some of the larger festivals had major sponsors like Zoe's Kitchen and Jet Blue, the festivals would use this money to fly their filmmakers and/or keynote speakers into town for the festival which I think is great. The Dallas Video fest was one that stood out to me for giving grants to filmmakers to fly them to the festival. This festival looks awesome and I would definitely consider entering a film here.
