Print Traffic

So you've finalized your film lineup.  Now you're ready for the most important logistical detail: getting the films to your festival and on the screen!  Allow me to shepherd physical and digital content from the filmmaker to your festival headquarters - organization and insistence are key. I speak techno-babble of the film variety so you don't have to know about aspect ratios, film resolutions, frame-rates or what a KDM is.

From the moment we started working with Bears, our festival went from being an idea to a reality. Bears’s encyclopedic knowledge of how film festivals best work in a variety of communities and settings allowed us to mobilize an effective staff locally and remotely to assemble something which had never been attempted before - a truly international film festival with events on both sides of an international border. The results were astounding for a first-year festival: millions of media impressions, hundreds of thousands of dollars in regional spending and, perhaps most importantly, enthusiastic feedback from our visiting filmmakers from around the world.
