At Raindance Film Festival we're working really hard to bring new films, both homegrown and from all over the world, to audiences in London. As well as this we're organising loads of great events for writers including:
Bill Martell Seminar - Guerilla Marketing Your Script
No agent? No problem!
How to make your own connections, find producers interested in your script, get readings and studio meetings, sell without an agent or manager. Should you make your own posters? Your own trailers? Post your scripts online? Sleep your way to the top? To the middle?
Bill Martell Seminar - Structural Freaks
Do you understand structure? Is your script running out of steam halfway through? Exploring different methods of structuring your screenplay - alternatives to the three act structure like the Navajo Story Circle, Tag Teams, Strange Chronologies, and more.
Four Nights of Filmmakers Networking Drinks
Join us for a late evening: affordable drinks, good music and visuals – it's our treat.
Live!Ammunition
Your chance to pitch your movie idea directly to a panel of top British film executives. These are the people who matter. They are the people who buy scripts - they are the people who decide what will be made and what won't.
To pitch, just drop a fiver in the hat, and the floor is yours. You have two minutes to convince the panellist to read your script or make your film. They can and will gong you off if you are boring.
You can find more details and a complete list of our films on the festival website here: http://www.raindance.co.uk/site/independent-film-festival-2009
