Excellent insights Venus! Totally agree that film festivals are extremely valuable. The learning is great but the relationships are priceless. I met the person who heads up a talent agency - who now represents me - at a networking event at a film festival. Actors should always go to broaden their skillset around filmmaking, but primarily to build relationships with other actors, directors, producers, and agents.

[@PersonalPowerhouse]

Absolutely! There have been so many benefits to attending them. There's always a new friend that comes out of it - and lots of opportunities! Glad you found an agent through one!

Thank you for this. I really need to attend more of these but have not gotten much out of the secular film festivals that I've been to so I've not been super excited about going to any, as a result. I also struggle with networking because I'm so awkward and weird around new people so that's been another hindrance. If budget only allows for a couple (or even just one) a year, which would you recommend?

[@PersonalPowerhouse]

I hiiiighy recommend Content Film Festival in Poolville, TX (near Dallas at Capernaum Studios) to get started in Christian film festivals. The activities, the workshops, the people - it's such a welcoming place. I've seen many other 'awkward' folks attend, and by the end of it, they're so comfortable because of the kindness of everyone there.
Tips for Content: there's a lot of walking because it's on a studio lot, so take comfortable shoes. There aren't any restaurants or hotels nearby, so consider finding a roommate and potential rideshares (there are Facebook groups for this), and also keep food in a cooler in your car if you don't plan on buying the meals that the festival offers.
Let me know if you have other questions!
