1. What did you find the most interesting when comparing the festival research materials?
- The most interesting thing to me was seeing all the different types of festivals out there; mine, for example, was purely animation, but it still followed the guidelines of having shorts, feature-length films, different genres, etc; other festivals, however, were not as tied down in one specific thing. Ally's festival, Indiegrit, seemed to be more focused on creating a Southeastern experience than just being about films. It got more varied from there; Chris' was similar to VISIONS because it's a student film festival, Rural Route was focused on films that were simply about rural areas (whether doc or experimental or narrative), and Steven's had a competition purely for screenwriting. Festivals are cool, man.
2. What sponsor ideas were sparked from the posts so far? Which festival/conference inspired this and why?
- It's hard to say. All of the festivals, mine included, used a combination of local companies for sponsorship and bigger companies that tied into the point of their festival. I know SoDak had Wacom as a sponsor last year, given that it's all about animation, so something like that for big sponsorship would be cool if we can find a company that falls into our vein to sponsor us.
