Documentary magazine editor Tom White pointed me to a great article by filmmaker Paul Devlin over at The Independent. Devlin has a new film, BLAST!, that he launched at this year’s HotDocs. He shares his experiences navigating the festival experience with valuable insight:

It still surprises me that there are filmmakers unfamiliar with Withoutabox.com, the film festival submission site.
