Marketing & Distribution Plan

1. Sunscreen Film Festival: This festival is right for my film because it has a specific category for animation. There are awards given out for each category as well, including Best Animation and Best Short. There is also a discounted fee for students which helps my budget.

2. Visions Film Festival: Visions is perfect for my film since it will be a product of a UNCW student and they accept short animations; I plan to have my animation completed right in time for the Earlybird deadline as well.

3. Cucalorous Film Festival: I feel my animation would be a great fit for either the youth or animated shorts block during Cucalorous.

4. Fifteen Minutes of Fame Film Festival: This festival has an animation category and also an award for Best Animation, so I feel my film would be right for it. The festival only gets about 150 submissions and shows about 40-50, according to the website, so my animation could have a better chance at being chosen.

5. Independent Filmmakers Showcase Film Festival: I am obviously an independent filmmaker so this festival would seem right for myself and my film, but there are also categories for student film and short animated film.

6. Reel to Reel International Film Festival: This festival is a regional one that features an animation category. I feel my animation would do well at an international festival; assuming there are non-English speakers there, it could be easily understood by everyone since it relies on facial expressions and sounds rather than dialogue.

7. Riverrun International Film Festival: This free-to-NC-students festival would be right for my film due to it's animation category. As this is also an international film festival, open to everyone around the world, I feel my animation would do well, (as I said in the last festival description) due to the lack of dialogue.

A little bit about the title I am (almost certainly) choosing:

Quiescence: the quality or state of being quiescent.......

Quiescent: being at rest; quiet; still; inactive or motionless

           -- In a state or period of inactivity or dormancy
