I was struggling with how to navigate the whole film festival world... the course has given me so many resources and tools... plus Heather is just so available and such a source of information. I highly encourage you to do it!

Now we feel like filmmakers; we're applying to the right festivals, we're getting into the right festivals... (Film Festival Insider) really has made this experience more joyful and successful.

One of the course's standout aspects is its depth of resources and practical guidance. From poster design, trailers, and EPKs to creating an effective FilmFreeway page, every detail a filmmaker needs is covered. The exclusive "FFI Inner Circle" Facebook group has been a fantastic resource for exchanging ideas, asking questions, and connecting with Heather and fellow filmmakers.

I finished your course... It was fantastic! I greatly appreciate you making all this information available. I feel more confident that I've been exposed to several important aspects of the film festival run. And with me being brand new to the film world, it was greatly needed!

I am so happy to have found Film Festival Insider. If you have a film in the festival circuit, I would highly recommend Film Festival Insider to gain insight into your festival submission strategy, which can save thousands of dollars, and tons of time in the long run.

The Film Festival Insider Course has been a game-changer for me in how I approach the film festival circuit.

Peter Plano

Before I sought out Heather's advice, I felt like I was totally lost and overwhelmed by the submission process. Since working with Heather on our festival strategy, we have greatly increased our acceptance rate and are winning so many more awards. Heather is wonderful to work with.

Jessica Sherr

Heather went above and beyond in helping me gain confidence in this process; as well as providing me with numerous actions to begin taking that will place me ahead of other filmmakers. She provided me with numerous strategies on submitting... as well as helping me begin to manage my schedule and budget. I feel so much more confident in this process and I am very much looking forward to what is to come in the future. Thanks again to Heather and Film Festival Insider.
