Best festival strategy I would like to use for visions if from Slamdance. Yay Slamdance! They utilize past filmmakers who have submitted or been part of their festival to be screeners for the following year. This makes the community grow stronger each year and those filmmakers that are alumni of the festival feel utilized and important because they have a say in who is part of the festival.
I think we could somehow incorporate this into Visions by having either past people who have submitted help or maybe even getting more of the department to be involved. I know everyone has a chance to apply and be part of the class but if they can't make that kind of time commitment maybe they can just be part of the screening part and help give a perspective the class might not have on a film. Just an idea because the bigger sense of community we create the more willing people are to come to the festival or help us out with favors we might need.
Just some food for thought!
