Distribution

Now we have created a short film, we have the chance to distribute it, for example upload it onto video sharing websites and enter it into competitions. Ideally, I would like the tale of the lady and the cake to be a link or actually put onto a website of a food writer like Nigella Lawson or maybe a quirky food forum. This would be appropriate, not because we show any good recipes or any successful home cooking, but because its target audience is for food lovers, and they may appreciate the film. The video is already uploaded onto face book, YouTube and video, allowing the general public to view them and the option for them to leave their feedback.
The London short film festival is a local short film festival. It holds their nominees for the best short film at various venues across London for example the Roxy bar, the shortwave cinema in Bermondsey and the Camden roundhouse. This would be a great opportunity to enter the lady and the cake into, possibly after a few small tweaks to the editing. The show is held in the middle of January every year, and the deadline for entering the films for the 2011 awards is September 2010.
No Limits Student Film festival is a student film festival held in sheffield and ran by univeristy students. There is no limits on the lengths, genre, or content of the films, leaving any student film being able to submit. The competion is held in april each year and entries for the 2011 competion will be able to be submitted later in the year. All we would have to do would be fill in the application film and send either a dvd, video tape or usb key holding our video to the address. You don’t win any money from this competion, it is a way of exhibiting your work and seeing what other people think about it.
